The son of Alexander & Maria (Studebaker) Underwood, in 1860 he was a laborer living in Tyrone Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Gettysburg August 12, 1864, mustered into state service at Harrisburg August 16 as a private with Warren's Independent Cavalry Militia Company, and honorably discharged with his company November 30, 1864. After the war he studied medicine at Hahnemann College in Philadelphia and over the years opened practices in Chambersburg, Baltimore, Maryland, and Carlisle. The night before his death, he was ill with a severe cold, and a neighbor spent the night tending to him. The neighbor returned home briefly in the morning and returned to find Underwood dead in his chair from what his death certificate says was "tuberculosis of lungs."
