Julia C. Underwood (c.1840-?) was born in Ohio and died in an unknown location. She was the wife of Franklin J. Underwood, a wealthy bookkeeper who lived and worked in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1884, she became interested in Christian Science and most likely met with Mary Baker Eddy when she visited Chicago in May 1884. Underwood had intended to study with Eddy at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College; instead, she studied with A. J. Swarts, who had attended five days of Eddy's May 1884 Chicago class and who established the Spiritual Science University in Chicago. After studying with Swarts, Underwood returned to Memphis, where she maintained a healing practice until the late 1890s.
