Adolf Guttmacher

[5] Guttmacher wrote "A History of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation" in 1905, "A Sabbath School Companion for Jewish Children" in 1907, and "The Perpetual Light–Prayers and Meditations on Death for Home and Burial Ground" in 1913.

He was also vice-president of the Hebrew Education Society, an advisory of the Daughters of Israel, president of the Jewish Home for Consumptives, an executive of the Federated Jewish Charities, secretary of the Eudowood Sanitarium, a director of the Maryland Prisoners' Aid Association, a board member of the Maryland Society for the Protection of Children from Cruelty and Immorality, president of the Alumni Association of the Hebrew Union College, recording secretary and publication committee chairman of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and a member of the Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums, the Alliance Israélite Universelle, and the American Oriental Society.

[1] Guttmacher died on a train near Huntingdon, Pennsylvania while on his way to Chicago, Illinois for the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the National Federation of Temple Sisterhood conventions on January 17, 1915.

[6] His funeral at the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation was so crowded that a large throng waiting outside required a detachment of Boy Scouts and police officers to direct movements to and from the building.

The honorary pallbearers were close personal friends and the congregation's trustees, and directors of the United Hebrew Charities and the Eudowood Auxiliary attended the funeral.
