            Manushag's father was a soldier. Her mother went to Haini with four children to live with her brothers. There they were not deported, but a prominent Turk forced Manushag to marry him. The mother returned to Diarbekir with her other children. In nine years Memdo Bey treated Manushag very well, then he took another wife and began to illtreat her. During the Kurdish trouble Memdo Bey was deported to Smyrna. Later he brought his two wives to the same place. Six months later they were permitted to return to Haini. Manushag's mother, who had come to Aleppo, knew that they were returning. She informed us, and we helped her to save her daughter, when the train passed Aleppo.
