Lillie Langtry, née Emilie Charlotte Le Breton (1853-1929) - Born in Jersey, an island off the coast of Normandy, France on October 13, 1853, Lillie was the the only daughter of the Dean of Jersey. Having six brothers, she was a "tomboy" in her youth and never received a formal education. However; a French governess who served as a tutor to her brothers during the day, helped her during the evenings. In her early teens, she accompanied her mother to a number of social functions and soon met a wealthy thirty year old Irish widower and landowner named Edward Langtry. In 1874, the two married. Not long after the pair moved to London, many say, at her insistence. It appears that Lillie may have married Edward Langtry for his money, but if that was the case, she was disappointed, as Edward soon became bankrupt.

She resided during her final years in Monaco, with her husband living separate from her a short distance away. She died there in 1929, and was buried in the graveyard of St. Saviour's Church in Jersey – the church of which her father had been rector.

Mary Elizabeth Lease (1853–1933) ­ American agrarian reformer and temperance advocate, she was admitted to the bar in Kansas and became active in Populist politics in the campaign of 1890. Known during this period as Mary Ellen Lease, she was dubbed Mary Yellin Lease by her opponents because of her flamboyant oratorical style. She worked to set up postal savings banks, government control of railroads, federal supervision of corporations, women's  suffrage, free silver, prohibition, and other reforms.
