Early life
Underwood was born in London and migrated to United States at the age of 12. He graduated from New York University in 1881 and the New Brunswick Theological Seminary in New Brunswick, New Jersey the United States in 1884.
Work in Korea
He arrived in Korea as a missionary, and taught physics and chemistry at Gwanghyewon (광혜원) in Seoul, the first modern hospital of Korea.[2] Underwood worked with Henry G. Appenzeller, William B. Scranton, James Scarth Gale, and William D. Reynolds on the Korean Bible; New Testament 1900, Old Testament 1910. In 1900, Underwood and James Scarth Gale established the Seoul YMCA and in 1915 Underwood became the president of the Joseon Christian College (경신학교 儆新學校), the predecessor of Yonsei University. He wrote several books on Korea, including The Call of Korea.[3]
Personal life
Underwood's older brother, John T. Underwood, was a typewriter entrepreneur based in New York who helped finance Horace Grant's missionary endeavors. Underwood arrived in Korea on the same boat as Henry G. Appenzeller on Easter Sunday (April 5) 1885. In 1889, Underwood married Lillias Horton (1851–1921), a doctor. Underwood worked with Horace N. Allen, an American missionary doctor attached to the royal court. In 1916, Underwood went back to the U.S. due to his failing health but soon died in Atlantic City. In 1999, his body was transferred from New Jersey to Yanghwajin Foreigners' Cemetery.
Underwood family legacy
Underwood's physical legacy is visible in various Christian educational institutes in Seoul. There is a statue of him in the center of the Yonsei University campus, and the Underwood Activity Center of Seoul Foreign School is dedicated to his grandson, Richard F. Underwood. Underwood's descendants have served to develop Korean society, religion, politics and education for over one hundred years.[1] His son Horace Horton Underwood (1890–1951) continued the tradition of education and worked at Yonhi University, another predecessor of Yonsei University. Horace Horton and his wife Ethel named their son Horace Grant Underwood II (1917–2004) who, among other notable achievements,[4] served as an interpretor in the Korean War armistice talks.[5] The Underwood family is no longer involved with mission work but continues to serve in Korea at the U.S. Embassy and in business.[6]
