Ardash was exiled with his parents in the direction of Urfa. On reaching the village Sumsac the Arabs attacked the caravan and after robbing and killing his father they took him with his mother away. An Arab married his mother by force. He remained two years with his mother, then went to the village Yalaghanda and worked two years as a farmer. But being continually illtreated he fled to Sutehan. There he worked many years for a man, named Mohammed Semi. Finally he succeeded in passing into the Syrian territory, where he knocked at the door of our agent in Arabpounar, whence was sent to our rescue-home.

Went to our colony December 1, 1926. Married to No. 1803.
