Biography

Antoine Ridgeway Ivins was born in St. George, Utah Territory. Ivins spent some of his younger years in Mexico. Ivins was the son of Anthony Ivins, an LDS apostle and counselor in the First Presidency. His mother was Elizabeth Ashby Snow Ivins, the daughter of LDS Apostle Erastus Snow.

Church service From 1921 to 1931 Ivins managed the LDS Church's sugar cane plantation in Laie, Hawaii. (4)
