From the latter institution he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1928. He spent a short time in Los Angeles and then came to Holbrook, where he has a nicely furnished and well equipped office. On August 18, 1921 Dr. Heywood married Margaret E. Smurthwait of Salt Lake City Utah and they are the parents of two children, Margaret Josephine and Barbara Lee. He loves outdoor life and hunting and fishing are his favorite forms of recreation.
