Reinvaldi A.
(Ado Reinvald, 1847-1922)
Described by one theatre critic (Luule Epner) as “an uneducated peasant and a God-gifted poet”. Given his schooling was a mere five months while aged 14, we can assume at least part of this is true. Hailed from Viljandi.

(Konstantin Türnpu, 1865-1927)
Born Türnbaum. Renowned conductor of various male choral groups. Capable of playing organ for morning prayer at age eight. A former Old Believer’s Cemetery was located close by, seemingly buried beneath a football pitch.
