Dr. Fran Rosina, odvetnik in politik, je bil rojen 29. septembra 1863 v Leskovici blizu Šmartnega pri Litiji, umrl pa je 15. oktobra 1924 na Dunaju. Pravo je leta 1888 doštuudiral na Dunaju, doktoriral pa leta 1891 v Gradcu. Služboval je pri odvetnikih v Novem mestu in v Celju, lastni odvetniški pisarni pa je imel v Ljutomeru od 1895 in v Mariboru od 1901 pa do smrti. Bil je med ustanovitelji Sokola v Novem mestu, v Ljutomeru in v Mariboru ter njegov starosta v Novem mestu in v Mariboru. V mestu ob Dravi je bil tudi predsednik Čitalnice in v letih 1905-1924 načelnik Posojilnice. Že leta 1896 je bil v Ljutomeru izvoljen za poslanca v štajerski deželni zbor. V prevratnih letih 1918-1919 je dr. Rosina kot podpredsednik Narodnega sveta za Štajersko skupaj s predsednikom Karlom Verstovškom z odločnostjo veliko pripomogel k uspehu generala Maistra. Za potrebe Maistrove vojske je zagotovil 2 milijona kron in tudi sicer vsestransko podpiral akcijo za slovensko Štajersko in Maribor. Zato so ga mnogi poimenovali "Maistrova desna roka«.
