John Henry Harjes, a founder of the banking firm Drexel, Harjes & Co (later evolving into J.P Morgan), was a prominent figure in French society.

He arrived in Paris from Philadelphia in 1868 and served as the first President of the American Hospital of Paris.

His son, Henry Herman Harjes, is credited with introducing polo to France.

Millie’s sister, Nelly, married the jeweler Jacques Cartier in 1912.
