Weidinger, Phyllis Reiter

Details

DescriptionPhyllis Reiter Weidinger's grandparents, George Phillip Reiter & Eva Elizabeth Hartd Reiter were born and raised in Kautz, Russia. In 1913 George Phillip's father encouraged George to take his wife and three children and move to America. Bolshevism was sweeping Russia and the people called 'Volga Germans from Russia' were being targeted by the Bolsheviks who had been killing and starving the Volga German people. George took his family and moved to America passing through the Port of Baltimore. The family was quarantined in the port because the children had chicken pox. Eva stayed in quarantined to nurse the children while George managed to find food for the family. Once released from quarantine, the family took the immigrant train to Huntley, Montana where they homesteaded on the Huntley Irrigation Project.
