            Yeghsa's husband was killed in the beginning of the Great War. She herself and her four children, three girls and one boy, were exiled with thousands of Armenians. Months they were driven to and fro and suffered awfully. Her children became ill and she had to leave them at the roadside. She herself reached Deir-el-Zor. One year she stayed there. Then she went back to Turkey, to her native village Husseinig with six other women. Their houses and all their property had been taken by Turks and the poor women were forced to marry those. 

            Newly Yeghsa came to Aleppo and found her sister here. 


Yeghsa is staying with her sister, Araphui one of our old girls who is married in Aleppo.

 


Left our care: February 20, 1930. Relatives, sister in Aleppo.
