LATE GOVERNOR UNDERWOOD AND WIFE WILL HAVE CALHOUN MONUMENT

(12/04/2008)
Donating his body to science was a request of former West Virginia Gov. Cecil Underwood, who died last week.

The Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University accepted Underwood's body as part of the human gift registry program.

Underwood's late wife, Hovah Hall Underwood, a Calhoun native, also donated her body to science.

The Underwood's have requested markers be placed in Tyler and Calhoun counties with the inscription: "They gave their lives to service and their bodies at death to science."
