Wife of Charles Clinton Buell.
Mrs. Modrea Hoyne Buell was a recluse for the last few years of her long life. She was born 2 July, the year of the Great Chicago Fire, 1871, but her home escaped destruction. Modrea's paternal grandfather, Thomas Hoyne, served the Chicago area as reform mayor in 1876 and her maternal great-grandfather was Dr. John Taylor Temple, one of the thirteen men who incorporated Chicago as a village in 1833.
Mrs. Buell leaves her son Temple; a daughter, Mrs. Jay Bernard Mullen, (a noted muralist known professionally as Buell Mullen); ten grandchildren, and twenty-three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her oldest son, Charles Clinton Buell Jr.
Modrea's son Temple, a prominent architect and land developer in Denver, CO, donated a $25 million endowment to the Denver Women's College just before he left for Chicago to attend his mother's funeral.
In our Black Family Tree, Modrea is my husband Bruce's maternal 3rd cousin, 2x removed.
