            Beatrice was exiled with the whole family to Deir-el-Zor. There her father married her to an Armenian, who seeing the danger which was threatening his life embraced Islam. When the war was over they returned to Aintab and her husband returned to his religion. As the French forces left Aintab, her husband embraced Islam for the second time and remained there with his wife and children while the greater part of the Armenians migrated to Syria accompanied by the French forces. One day some Turks invited her husband for a picnic. As they reached a garden outside the city they killed him. Beatrice went to the Americans in Aintab, they prepared a passport and sent her with her three children to our rescue-home in Aleppo. 


Beatrice is living with her brother in Aleppo.
