    Seth Nelson was born in Sweden to Alfred and Wilhelmina Nelson. He immigrated to the US sometime after 1900, joining his brother Oscar in the area of Bainville, Montana, where the two brothers homesteaded on adjacent properties. Both of them farmed there for the remainder of their lives, slowly growing their property by buying the lands of neighboring homesteaders who left for various reasons. They successfully raised wheat, barley and cattle on a ranch that grew to be more than 3,000 acres, and is still being farmed by Oscar's grandson. Seth never married and had no children, but he was dearly loved by his many nieces and nephews and their children.
