Governor of Wyoming (January 2, 1939---January 4, 1943) NELS H. SMITH, was born in Gayville, South Dakota on August 27, 1884. He attended the regular public schools and the University of South Dakota. After his schooling Smith began ranching near Gettysburg, South Dakota until 1907 when he sold out and moved to Wyoming. Smith acquired properties in Crook and Weston Counties and joined the Republican Party. He was elected to the House of Representatives for the Fifteenth State Legislature. Smith was elected Governor in November 1938 and served until 1943. Defeated during his bid for reelection he and his wife returned to their Ranch A on Sand Creek and led active lives as host to guests from all over the world. In a few years they moved to a home they built near Sundance and were happily active with family and politics. Nels Smith died July 5, 1976.

Loving Cecile (10754 words)
In addition, Governor Smith was swamped with letters from Stanley and Cecile's relatives and from countless interested citizens, beseeching him to bestow clemency on Lantzer and spare him from the gas chamber.
The story of Governor Smith's denial of clemency appeared in the same edition of the Wyoming Eagle, but was reported in a straight forward style accompanied by no editorial comment other than the mention that Smith's denial of clemency had cleared the way for the execution.
Although Wyoming Governor Nels Smith was unpopular with the electorate for a number of reasons, his denial of clemency in the Lantzer case appears to have been unpopular as well.
