He was born in Brockville, Upper Canada,[1] the son of William Buell, and was educated there. He was called to the bar in 1854[2] and practised law in Brockville.[3] His first wife was Susan Chaffey; after her death in 1857, he married Margaret Sophia Senkler in 1861. Buell was a lieutenant-colonel in the local militia. He served as mayor for Brockville for seven years. In 1871, Buell ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial legislature.[2] He was defeated by William Fitzsimmons in a bid for reelection to the federal seat in 1878.[1]
