George Theal (biological surname) was an Orphan Train rider. He came from New York when he was about 5 years old and got off in Ellis County, Kansas. George went to live with the "Nick" Zimmerman family where he was raised and educated. On George's WWI Draft Registration, George says he has no middle name (given at birth), and some people think that Theal is his middle name.
