John Ames Mitchell

John Ames Mitchell

, the town in which Mitchell also lived.

Mitchell penned a half dozen novels, the most famous of which, "Amos Judd" (1895), was made into the 1922 silent film, The Young Rajah, starring Rudolph Valentino. Life was purchased in 1936 by another Ridgefield resident, Henry Luce, who turned it into a picture-oriented magazine. The headquarters of Mitchell's Life is now The Herald Square Hotel in New York, a gift to Mitchell from Charles Dana Gibson in appreciation of the publisher’s having seen and developed his potential as an artist.

Mitchell died in 1918 and is buried in Ridgefield Cemetery. Windover, his estate, was subdivided years ago, but the main house is still on West Lane. Its owner also operates The Herald Square Hotel, once Mitchell's Life headquarters. [ [http://jackfsanders.tripod.com/whoswho.htm "Notable Ridgefielders"] ]
