Oster Family Flees Maragha

Brother F. F. Oster writes from Tabriz, Persia, that he bought a horse and fled with Mrs. Oster and baby (four weeks old) from Maragha. They were at the Armenian Mission, well provided for and well. They left everything behind. The Kurds entered the next day and plundered the town. Many Christians and Moslems were killed by the Kurds at Miandoab and Urumiah. At the latter place were Sabbath keepers. They may have escaped in time to save their lives.
