Yeghia was deported from Sis with his parents, one brother, a sister and a lot of their country-people. The caravan was driven in the direction of Deir-el-Zor. Afoot the poor people wandered, exposed to the burning sun and the attack of the neighbouring Muslim tribes, who robbed, killed and dragged away with them, what they wanted of women and children. The men were mostly killed. So Yeghia by and by lost his parents, brother and sister. One day his turn also came. An Arab took him to his tent. He had to work as a shepherd for his possessor twelve years, but was treated rather well. He also became a little recompense every year in form of sheep. Once he, by our agent, was informed that his brother was living in Damas, he immediately left his possessor and went to Mosul. By the help of our agent there, he was sent on to our reception-home in Aleppo. 

We found Yeghia's sister in Damaskus and sent him there.

Left our care: June 23, 1927. Relatives
