Maybe you can find the funeral home or a burial permit. I think your guy is buried at Shell Rock. The family may not have wanted to mention the medical research bit in the obit, and he was probably buried there eventually, after the Hospital was done with him. Also possible is that they intended to donate his body for research, but the Hospital didn't need him at that time, so a funeral with burial at Shell Rock went on.
