George Stuart Nixon (1860-1912) was a United States Senator from Nevada during the early 1900s. Nixon was born on April 2, 1860 on a farm close to Newcastle, California. He received his early education from public schools within California and helped with the farm until the age of nineteen. Nixon eventually found work for a railroad company and decided to study telegraphy. Nixon moved to Nevada in 1881, working as a telegraph operator for the Carson and Colorado Railroad for three years.
