Toros' father want to America before
the persecution. He was exiled with his mother and one younger brother. On the
road his mother and brother were killed leaving the miserable being in the
desert to the pitiless care of the savage tribes. Toros was brought by an Arab
to his tents, then he was sold from one to another, till he came into the
possession of a wealthy man in Veranshehir, whom he served for many years
without being greeted with a friendly word. Once, wearied of that unendurable
life, he fled to Hassitshe, from whence by our agent he was sent to us,
wretched in appearance. We shall take care of him till we locate his father in
America.
Left
our care: May 19, 1926. Relatives.
Father in America.
