For what it is worth--I was told once that once the body had been used for research, then it was later buried. So very likely the body is there under the tombstone. Just a possibility.

It stated that the man had died at U of Iowa Hospital and the body had been donated for research. His obit has him buried in Shell Rock, where I found his grave. The grave stone has his name on it. What do suppose is under that stone? Don Woodley RAOGK for Bremer, Butler, Floyd and Franklin Counties in Iowa.
