Edward Morris

Edward Morris

Edward Morris (died 1913) was President of Morris & Company, one of the three main meat-packing companies in Chicago. In 1890, he married Helen Swift a member of one of the other big three meat-packing families. Their daughter Muriel became a renowned psychiatrist.

As president of Morris and Company, Edward Morris was involved in the decision, in 1902, to form the National Packing Co. This holding company was targeted by Arba Seymour Van Valkenburgh under the Elkins Act and eventually broken up in 1912.

His great-great-grandson, Edward Morris Jr., is one of New York City's most renowned preachers of the Jewish faith.

He was also a gay rights extremist and is said to have been a world of warcraft freak!
