Ovsanna’s father killed in her native town, and she was deported with her mother. Not very far from the city a Turk broke into the caravan and took possession of Ovsanna.

                  With him she stayed til after the armistice, when her mother succeeded in freeing her, and for some time they lived together in Marash. During this time she became engaged to a young Armenian, but before they could be married fresh troubles came on, and they all had to flee to Aleppo. On the road, the Turk who had never given up the desire of having Ovsanna as his wife, again broke in and took her from them. Her mother reached Aleppo together with the young man. They turned to us for help and we tried hard through various messengers to bring her out. Finally we succeeded and of course the joy and greatfulness was great on both sides.

Left our care:  21/4 27. Reatives.
