Carrie Simon, a granddaughter of Philip's (daughter of Philip's son, Henry Mathias) wrote "...that Philip's father Heinrich Simon wanted to get to the U.S.A. before the Czar would call his boys to the army. The irony was that the youngest, Philip, died as a result of his wounds received in battle during the Civil War".
