R’ Moshe Feinstein mentions him in at least one of his teshuvos (about mechitza and Bima B’Emtza) (paraphrasing) “no need to be writing to me, you have an esteemed Rav in your own town and you can be comfortable with his Psak”.
My Father OB”M was a Shochet in Scranton recieved his kabballa from him in the 1950’s and my parents being immigrants with no older relatives asked him to be my Sandek. I remember him well though he was niftar when I was very young. He would visit us at the Scranton Hebrew Day School and “farher” all of the classes. Always had a warm smile. Older folks could probably shed a lot more light. Probably a great subject for a biography especially in how he related to the greater community, Jewish and Gentile.

A sefer by R. gutermans grandson, Rabbi Elchonon Shaff quotes a beautiful pshat from one of his drashos here http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49191&st=&pgnum=332 (and contintuing onto page 333.) I recall seeing Rabbi Shaff quote R. guterman in the intro to his sefer on Brachos birchasa vishirasa.
Rabbi Elchanan Tzvi Guterman (I’m putting the usual spelling here to help people find the page in a search — Rabbi Shoff is named after him) was also known as Rabbi Henry Guterman.
He was a talmid of the Slabodka Yeshiva in Lithuania around the turn of the 20th century; very close with Rav Zvi Pesach Frank (probably a distant relative) and with Rav Dovid Lebowitz (Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim — Rabbi Guterman was a masmich for the yeshiva).
