Identical twin brothers celebrated their 90th birthday in September, marking a shared life of religion, family and patriotism.

Ralph Henderson was born Sept. 6, 1918, in Arimo, Idaho, preceded by his twin brother, Boyd, who came an hour and a half earlier.

"The doctor thought I was a tumor," Ralph said. "But the tumor had legs and arms."

The brothers are identical not only in appearance, but also in work ethic — a trait forged while tending a subsistence garden and their father's feed store, which opened a year after they moved to Pocatello, Idaho, in 1933.

After the twins graduated from Pocatello High School and attended a year of college, they registered to serve one year in the Army. Boyd said Ralph's draft number was pulled out of a giant fish bowl in Washington, D.C., around the time they were going to talk to their bishop about serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
