Darwin attended school in Manti and later went to Ephraim Jr. High where he made it through the 7 ^th grade. He couldn’t finish school because of health conditions, but did take a training through a correspondence coarse and received a degree in watch making and repair. Darwin had an interest in planting trees and shrubs and had a special hobby of raising and cross breeding chickens. He loved everything to do with nature . Darwin never married and had no family of his own. He was a true Christian and received his endowments in the Manti Temple along with his twin brother, Marvin.
