Historical Note
Nels H. Smith was born in Gayville, South Dakota, on August 27, 1884. He was the son of Danish immigrants who made their living in agriculture and ranching. After graduating from the University of South Dakota in 1904, Smith became a cattleman in Gettysburg, South Dakota.
In 1907 Smith joined his brother Louis in Crook County, Wyoming, where they were employed in ranching and stock breeding.

After leaving office in 1938, Governor Smith returned to ranching. He died in Spearfish, South Dakota, on July 5, 1976.
