Ossian immigrated from England to Massachusetts in the 1600's.
Ossian later in life worked as a Bursar, or financial advisor, at the New England Conservatory..
Ossian all his life was surrounded by music from his father who was a music teacher, to his wife who was a vocalist.
"I assure you that we men, all of us, need, perhaps more than we think, to withdraw from the active, noisy, materialistic rush of the world, not to mention the sensuous, intoxicating, social pleasures of life that minister only to the flesh, and in peaceful quiet meditate upon and consider together some of the deep things of life, listen to the voice of the Eternal and be taught by the infinite spirit of truth." (Greetings and other things from Father Mills, 1909)
In 1898, Ossian founded the Sinfonian Club.
October 6, 1898, at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, the Sinfonian Club became Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.
Phi Mu Alpha is a national music fraternity
Ossian Everett Mills began the idea of what was known as the Mills Flower Mission which later became the Mills Music Mission. Himself and many others of the fraternity would go out to retirement homes and bring flowers to the elderly and sing songs to spread their love of music.
He was known as the "Father of Sinfonia".
