Mariam does not remember much from her earliest childhood.

                  She may have been 4 years, when she was deported with her parents. 

                  She grew up in a Kourdish village and when she was 12 years old she was sold to a Kourd, who married her.

                  That man had another wife, who treated Mariam very badly.

                  After 4 years she fled to us. Mariam's eyes are very bad, an operation is necessary.

Mariam has had to operations. Her eyes are so much better now.

Left our care: December 2, 1925. Selfsupporting, Servant.
