Frank N. Nelson (1890-1967), a native of Livingston, Montana, attended Montana State University from 1909-1911. In 1913, Frank Ne3lson graduated from Kansas City Veterinary School and began veterinary practice in Columbus, MT. In 1919, after a year in the Army Medical Corps, Dr. Nelson returned to Livingston, MT, where he practiced veterinary medicine until his retirement in 1956.
