Immigrated to America, alone, from Splaunucha, Russia, in 1909, at the age of 15. His parents could only afford to send one child out of the country, away from the coming Communism. George was the second oldest son and was chosen when the oldest refused to leave. He served in WWI. He took his Oath of Allegiance in Frederick, OK, to become a Naturalized Citizen. He married Eva Katherine Stoll. He served his country again in WWII overseeing a group of German POWs at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma.

From the AHSGR coordinator for village Huck:
Splaunucha (or Splavnukha), Russia (that is the Russian name for the village, German name is Huck)
...the record in his Russian birth records is Johann Georg (Johann was a common ‘first’ name given to Zitterkopf males in the village as a baptismal name using a name from the Bible). Because Georg was such a ‘German’ name, using Philip tended to soften the germanesh of a name.
