            Lucia was deported with her parents to the region of Diarbekir, where both father and mother died in a famine. A Kurd took Lucia to his house and three years later he married her. Later he died and another Kurd took her. The poor woman thought that all Armenians were dead, so she had to stay among the Kurds. On an occasion of a visit to Diarbekir with her husband she found Armenians. She immediately left the Kurd and soon she succeeded in coming with some muleteers to Aleppo, where she found our rescue-home.
