Cudahy, Michael (1841–1910) meatpacker; born in Callan, County Kilkenny, Ireland; and Edward A. (Aloysius) (1859–1941) meatpacker; born in Milwaukee, Wis. The brothers' family came to Milwaukee in 1849 and at age 14 Michael began working for meatpackers. By 1869 he was supervising the Plankinton & Armour Packing House and by 1875 was a partner of Armour & Company in Chicago. During the 1870s, Michael brought refrigeration into warehouse packing plants. In 1887 the brothers—Edward had started working as a meatpacker at age 12—bought a packing plant near Omaha, Nebr. with Philip D. Armour. The Armour-Cudahy partnership broke up and the plant became the Cudahy Packing Company (1890). Under Edward's supervision the company expanded significantly; his son, Edward A. Jr., was kidnapped in 1900 and held in chains for $25,000 ransom. Subsequently the son entered the family's business in 1905, and became president in 1926.
