BUEL died at his residence, in the Second Ward, Jan. 10, 1880, aged sixty-five years. This announcement chronicled the removal of one of the old landmarks of Eau Claire, and brought expressions of heartfelt sorrow from the large circle associated with him in the city during its early history. He was born in Vermont, March 1, 1815. In early life he removed to Allegany Co., N. Y. In 1857, he took up his residence in Eau Claire, where he lived until the time of his death. He was widely and favorably known, and in his death the city lost an estimable citizen, and a man of sterling integrity. --Taken from "The History of Northern Wisconsin containing an Account of its Settlement, Growth, Development and Resources; An extensive Sketch of its Counties, Cities, Towns and Villages, Their Improvements, Industries, Manufacturies; Biographical Sketches, Portraits of Prominent Men and Early Settlers; Views of County Seats, Etc."
