Mrs. Hattie Kutz of Wilmington, Del, who contributed more than $2,000,000 to a wide variety of Jewish and general activities, died here at the age of 75. Milton Kutz, her husband, who died in 1953, had been an official of the E. I. du Pont Company and a president of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.
Mrs. Kutz’ philanthropies included the Milton and Hattie Kutz Home for Aged Jewish People, a Brandeis University student center, endowment of a chair in American Jewish History at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and a camp in Orange County, New York, for use by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations to train Reform rabbis and cantors.
