Married in Aleppo





 

                  In the beginning of the Armenian massacres her father went on business to Broussa but he never returned again. She and her mother were deported and reached Aleppo. After a few days' rest they were sent further on. On the road she was separated from her mother and was brought to an Arab's tent. She was living with him for eleven years being considered his child. When Aghavni grew up, her master wanted to marry her to an Arab, but she did not agree to the proposal. She looked out for a chance to flee and succeeded by the aid of our agent, who sent her per auto to us.

 

Left our care: December 1, 1926. Married in Aleppo.
