He was born on his parent's farm in Spencer Twp. west of Kenmare, ND. Calvin attended Spencer School. Calvin married LonaMae Zimmer on June 27, 1960 from Norma, ND, daughter of Leonard L. Zimmer and Josie Amanda Evanger. Calvin and LonaMae made their home in Kenmare before moving to the Leonard Zimmer farmstead, where they raised their family, ranched and farmed. Calvin had an intense interest in livestock. For over 40 years he bought and sold cattle as a bonded licensed dealer. Calvin and his family used this interest to supply horses for the PMU business they operated for over 35 years. His love and knowledge of horses branched off into the field of rodeo. He chose to breed and raise bucking horses. He was a founding member of the Roughrider Rodeo Association, designed for the entire family participation, thus allowing the younger generation a start in rodeo. Calvin also enjoyed cooking, grocery shopping, teasing all, visiting with friends and family, and all children. Christmas brought his family together and they anticipated his giving, big heart. He was a hard worker, who accomplished his dreams and kept working at them. He was blessed with eight grandchildren, and was extremely proud of each one of them. They will each remember all the special little things he did for them and for all the stories he would share. Five children were born to Calvin and LonaMae. He will be greatly missed by his faithful wife of 49 years, LonaMae of rural Kenmare; Children- 1. Rowena Lynn Nelson, Williston,ND 2. Craig Richard Nelson (January 14, 1962-April 20, 1968) 3.
