When

Abstract
This
111-page
typescript
autobiography
begins
with an
index
and an
explanation
of the
reasons
for
which
the
manuscript
was
being
written
:
Arick
writes
that
owing
to her
daughter's
encouragement
and
after
reading
the
journal
writings
of
George
Albert
Smith
,
Arick
was
inspired
to
write
her
autobiography
. She
begins
with a
pedigree
chart
and an
account
of her
ancestors
and their
migration
to
Turkey
from
Russia
,
beginning
with her
great-great-grandfather
.
Arick
provides
several
names
of
missionaries
who
served
in
Turkey
, and she
writes
further
concerning
the
Turkey
mission
,
including
some
newspaper
clippings
. She
writes
of
happy
childhood
memories
,
recounting
the
beauty
of the
Zara
valley
and the
river
that
ran
through
it
.
Arick
also
writes
concerning
the
racial
distinctions
between
the
Armenians
and
Turks
. She
describes
the
land
geographically
and also
writes
of
people's
activities
and
homes
. She
recalls
several
childhood
memories
,
such
as
playing
with
cousins
and
making
round
bread
.
When
she was
older
,
Arick
was
given
tasks
such
as
bread-making
, and she
writes
specifically
of
another
time
during
which
some
of the
young
girls
and
elderly
women
would
take
long
trips
on
foot
through
the
canyons
and
hills
to
search
for
various
herbs
.
Arick
also
writes
of
several
experiences
when
she
went
to the
river
to
wash
clothing
.
Arick
provides
details
of
Turkish
baths
and also
describes
the
process
of
harvesting
wheat
and
baking
bread
.
Arick
also
writes
of a
particular
experience
when
the
Armenians
feared
a
massacre
;
Arick
and
other
Church
members
gathered
and
prayed
for
deliverance
, and they
ended
up
being
spared
.
Similarly
,
Arick
writes
that
Zara
was '
drenched
in
blood
'
because
of the
persistent
persecution
of the
Armenians
.
Concerning
her
engagement
to
Nishan
,
Arick
was
extremely
distressed
, and
when
they
reached
America
, she
successfully
discouraged
Nishan
from
wanting
to
marry
her.
While
her
family
was
rather
annoyed
with
Arick
because
of this, she
worked
hard
and
stayed
home
from
school
to
help
her
mother
.
When
Arick
met
and
became
friends
with
Armenag
,
Arick's
family
again
wanted
her to
marry
him;
although
she
did
later
consent
, she was
resistant
at
first
because
he was
poor
and had
no
trade
. She
later
writes
of the
blessings
she
received
from
having
lived
in
poverty
, and she
writes
that she
does
not
regret
it
.
Following
, she
describes
each
of her
children
and their
accomplishments
. She
includes
the
typescript
of
several
letters
from her
children
. She also
includes
some
talks
and
poems
. There
is
also an
excerpt
from 'The
Woman's
Exponent,
' and
several
aphorisms
from a
piece
entitled
, '
Gems
of
Thought.
' Also
included
are
letters
of
recommendation
for
Arick
to be
considered
the '
Mother
of the
Year.
' There
is
a
photocopy
of a
letter
written
by
Arick's
grandfather
to her
mother
, and a
translation
.
Arick
concludes
by
relating
the
experiences
she had
while
writing
this
biography
, and she
bears
her
testimony
of the
Gospel
.
Last
, are
six
recipes
, and
two
pages
of
photocopies
of
pictures
of
Arick's
family
. The
collection
was
written
from
1951
to
1956
.
