Louis-Amable Jetté was born on January 15, 1836, in L’Assomption, Quebec.

He was a Canadian lawyer, politician, judge, professor, and the 8th Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. After classical studies at the Collège de L’Assomption (1842-1853), he attended the law school at the Collège Sainte-Marie. He was called to the bar in 1857 and practised in Montreal. He contributed articles to various Montreal newspapers, e.g., L’Union nationale and L’Ordre. In 1871, he co-founded the Parti National, and in the 1872 federal election, despite his political inexperience, Jetté defeated Sir George-Étienne Cartier and was elected to the House of Commons of Canada representing the riding of Montreal East. He was re-elected in 1874 as a Liberal. In 1878, at the end of his term as an MP, he left politics to become a judge of the Superior Court for the district of Montreal and he joined the faculty of law at the new branch of the Université Laval in Montreal, where he held the chair in civil law. He served as dean from 1890 to 1898. Jetté was named 8th Lieutenant Governor of Quebec in 1898 and retained this office until 1908. He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (KCMG). Mount Jetté in British Columbia is named for him. Jetté was a member of the Canadian Boundary Tribunal leading to the resolution of the Alaska Boundary Dispute.

In 1862, he married Berthilde Laflamme (1841–1919). He died on May 5, 1920, in Quebec City, Quebec, and is buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, Montreal.

Benjamin Jewell was a legal professional who worked in Stratham, New Hampshire in 1733.

Educator and author Kiang Kang-Hu (as he preferred to be identified in English) was born in Kiangsi, China. After completing the classical Chinese literary education, he held posts in the imperial ministries of justice and education (1900-1910), edited a newspaper in Tientsin (1904-1905), taught Japanese language and Chinese history at Peking University (1905-1910), was superintendent of Peking public schools (1905-1910), and founded the Chinese Social-Democratic Party (1912). From 1914 to 1920 he taught Chinese language and civilization at the University of California. Kiang returned to China in 1922 to teach at Nanking and Nan Feng universities, and to work on various constitutional committees for the republican government. He came back to America as Chinese consultant for the Library of Congress in 1928, and was appointed Chairman of the Department of Chinese Studies at McGill in 1930. Owing to the financial situation, the Department was closed in 1934. At that time Kiang was on leave of absence in China, where his political activities were beginning to lead him into difficulties. All trace of him was lost after 1939, and he is believed to have died at the end of World War II. Kiang wrote a number of books on Chinese history, culture and politics in Chinese, Japanese and English, and collaborated with the American poet Witter Bynner on Jade Mountain, a volume of translations of Chinese poems.
