Armenag's father died during the deportation. His mother, with her four children was taken into an Arab's tent near Deir-el-Zor. The Arab was the chief of his tribe, he had many wives. Her children were always beaten before her eyes. She could not endure this illtreatement. After living three years with the Arab, by some means, she came in contact with one of her distant relatives in America, and by his aid, she succeeded to arrange her escape, but her children were too little, they could not go quickly. Thus, she was recaptured and was brought back. The second time she left her children and fled alone. She succeeded and reached Aleppo, from where she wrote several letters to her owner begging for her children, but she could not get them. At length, hopeless, she went to America. Lately she informed us about the matter, but it was too late. We succeded in saving only of them because the rest were dead. 

The survivor was Armenag, he is waiting eagerly for his passports to reach his dear mother in America.

Left our care: October 20, 1926. Relatives in Beirut. Mother in America.
