Madeline Yale Wynne

Madeline Yale Wynne (September 25, 1847 − January 4, 1918) was an American artist, teacher, writer, and philanthropist. She became the first President of Deerfield Society of Arts and Crafts, and a founding member of the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society. She was also a member of the Social Register of Chicago. Her brother John was married to Marie Louise, daughter of U.S. Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch, who was the main financier of the American Civil War for Abraham Lincoln. Her uncle was Congressman Halbert S. Greenleaf, and her aunt was Jean Brooks Greenleaf, president of the New York State Woman's Suffrage Association.

In 1865, when she was 18, Madeline married to Senator Henry Winn, son of Senator Reuben Winn.

In the early 1860s, her husband, Senator Winn, founded with his in-laws Linus Yale Jr. and John Brooks Yale, the Yale & Winn Manufacturing Company, which became a successful enterprise, and received an award from Napoleon III's Universal Exposition of Paris in 1867. He tried to do business in South America, but his venture proved unsuccessful, and his ship the Caribbean was wrecked in the ocean and uninsured. He thereafter operated his own business, designing scientific apparatus, such as ore separators and galvanometers, still in use in various mines. He graduated from Harvard and was also the grandfather of Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Fite, son of Colonel John H. Fite.
