Ardin L. Buell, merchant tailor and dealer in ready-made clothing and gents' furnishing goods, of Berlin, began 
business in March, 1878, when he succeeded J. L. Bridge & Co.  He was born in Waukegan, Ills., Jan. 17, 1852, 
and is a son of Orange G. and Catharine F. (Hamilton) Buell, both of whom were natives of Sheldon, Genesee Co., 
(now Wyoming Co.) N. Y.  They emigrated to Waukegan, Ill., and in 1856, came to Berlin, where our subject was 
reared to manhood, receiving his education in the public schools.  He began his business career as a traveling 
salesman for a wholesale hat and cap house of Milwaukee, and after four years spent in that line embarked in 
business for himself, purchasing the store of J. L. Bridge & Co., as before stated.  He has since carried on 
operations in that line with marked success, having built up an excellent trade.
 
On the 27th of August, 1879, Mr. Buell was united in marriage with Miss Mary Turner, daughter of Dr. J. H. and 
Adelaide (Jackson) Turner, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume.  Mrs. Buell was born in Berlin and 
her parents were pioneer settlers of Green Lake County.
 
In political sentiment, Mr. Buell is a Republican with strong Prohibition sympathies.  Socially, he is a Knight 
Templar Mason and holds membership in Berlin Lodge No. 38, A. F. & A. M., and Berlin Commandery No. 10, K. T.  
He has filled the highest offices in all those bodies and is a respected member of the brotherhood.  He is also 
a member of Berlin Lodge No. 7 K. of P. and of the N. W. T. M. A., of Chicago.
