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.
