Admitted to the bar of Minnesota in 1895, Henry Deutsch lived and practiced law in Minneapolis during the corrupt reign of "Doc" Ames. Perhaps in reaction he became a leader for municipal and educational improvement, an officer in several business organizations as well as a bankruptcy law reformer. After his death on January 9, 1928, at age 53, the Minneapolis Star mourned his loss to the city:
"Here was a man who recognized his obligations to society at every turn in his career. He contributed liberally of this time and energy for the advancement of the welfare of his fellow beings. And his mind, the good of society always came ahead of the personal needs and desires of Henry Deutsch.
"This phase of his character was splendidly exemplified in his work for the betterment of the public schools, and his tireless campaign to stamp out fraudulent commercial practices, and in any his leadership in religious and civic organizations."
