            After her father and brother were killed, she was deported with her mother to Karadja-Dagh. The whole caravan was attacked by Kourds. As the result most of them were killed or wounded. A Kourd robbed the dead bodies and survivors and went away. A Turk passed from there and took Lucia back to Severek. Lucia was living in his house for seven years being considered as his child. Her mistress wanted to marry her to a Turk but Lucia did not agree with the proposal of her mistress and looked out for a chance to flee. The opportunity came, an Armenian caravan passed the city, Lucia fled and joined the leaving caravan. She reached this city on June 5.
