Francisco I. Madero (1873–1913) was a wealthy landowner and the initial victor of the Mexican Revolution, having overthrown Porfirio Díaz who had ruled Mexico for over 30 years. After winning elections in 1911, he politically isolated himself and was usurped and murdered by one of his generals Victoriano Huerta. Today he is remembered as a martyr for the state.

Abraham González (1864–1913) was a wealthy landowner and early supporter of Francisco I. Madero and a mentor to Francisco "Pancho" Villa. When Madero was triumphant in 1911, he was elected governor of Chihuahua. After Victoriano Huerta overthrew the Madero government in 1913, he was arrested and murdered.
