            Shortly before the beginning of the Great War, Osgui was married with an Armenian from Biredjik. During the war her husband became a soldier. He was sent to the trenches, where he died of his wounds. In the meantime Osgui's parents were deported to Syria, but she knew nothing about it. Conditions in Turkey became more and more difficult. The famine was knocking on almost every door. Osgui was suffering hunger. Her neighbour, a Turk, asked her in marriage. Hunger and fear obliged her to say: "yes," but only too soon she repented it. The Turk's first wife ill-treated her daily, she beated her. When Osgui tried to protect herself, her husband came and ill-treated her too. Osgui was looking for a chance to flee. She lately heard that her father was living in Syria. After years of suffering and servitude, she fled to Djerablus and met our agent there who sent her right to our Reception-House.
