Cudworth was born to William Beye and Eleanor "Nellie" Christobel Lombard. He had 5 sisters: Faith, Elizabeth, Hannah, Helen and Miriam and 5 brothers: William, Howard Lombard, Robert, Edward Lawrence and Allen.

Interesting link to Frank Lloyd Wright: At a very busy time in his architectural practice, Frank Lloyd Wright was approached by Cudworth Beye, the student commodore of the University of Wisconsin crew team, for a commission for a boathouse. The year was 1905, and the students were looking to have an auxiliary boathouse built so that they would have a second site they could row out of when Lake Mendota was too windy, choppy or frozen over.

Cudworth Beye, of Oak Park, Ill, whose family was friends with Frank Lloyd Wright, wrote to him in the fall of 1905 asking for the commission. Wright responded,

In December of 1905, Wright sent Cudworth the sketches. The students then were responsible for coming up with the necessary funds to get the boathouse built. As the spring of 1906 approached it was apparent that the students would not be able to raise the money and Beye returned the sketches to Wright.
