1. Jelles Troelstra Marker
Hij was een Nederlands advocaat, journalist en politicus. Hij was grote voorman van de sociaaldemocraten aan het einde van de negentiende en begin van de twintigste eeuw. Samen met elf anderen richtte hij in 1894 de SDAP op. Hij kwam in 1897 in de Tweede Kamer en werd, ondanks dat niet iedereen het met zijn denkbeelden eens was, al snel erkend als goed politiek debater. Hij was een goed spreker, zowel in het parlement als bij massabijeenkomsten. Soms kregen zijn emoties de overhand, waardoor hij onbezonnen reageerde. Ondanks dit bleef hij zeer populair bij zijn achterban.
Daarnaast heeft hij in Friesland grote bekendheid gekregen als Fries schrijver en dichter.
