Author: History of Cook County, IL; 1884

S. D. UNDERWOOD, Justice of the Peace, was born in Wayne County, N. Y., in 
1832, and there he followed agricultural pursuits and also taught school. In 
1855 he moved to Wayne County, Mich., for a short time he taught school, and 
for two years was employed in mercantile pursuits. In 1857 he changed his base 
of operations to Grundy County, Ill., where he opened a large farm in company 
with his father, and resided there for some four years. Mr. Underwood came to 
Chicago early in 1861, and enlisted in the spring of 1862, having mustered a 
company of men for service in the war. Owing to circumstances, however, he 
went to New York where he entered the Marine Artillery service and served two 
years, subsequently retiring to Grundy County. He engaged in business pursuits 
at Gardner, dealing in hay, grain, etc., and eventually embarked in the livery 
business, and in connection with it also carried on a farm. He came to 
Englewood in the spring of 1874 and engaged in the livery business. Since 1877 
he has also been engaged in livery and undertaking business. He has always 
taken an interest in municipal affairs, and in April, 1883, was elected to the 
office of Justice of the Peace. He is also a member of the Englewood Veteran 
Club.
