Kriegshaber and Son, president of the Hebrew Orphans’ Home and prominently identified with the National Conference of Jewish Social Service, was also a member of B’nai B’rith; president of the Atlanta Philharmonic Society up to the time of his death and in 1916 president of the Chamber of Commerce.
