Armenian Missionary Family in Trebizond and Barnard Parmelee Legacy
A long read recalls the Parmelee family and Mrs Brockway in Trebizond and Erzurum Armenia missions. It chronicles Moses Parmelee’s 1870s work among Armenians, his wife and six children, their life among native dress, crafts, and schools, and Mrs Brockway’s efforts teaching Armenian culture and clothing. The piece notes Armenian women’s crafts, dress, and trade, and mentions later missionary aims and related figures. It also briefly mentions advances like a Swedish railcar motor experiment and compares fuel use to steam locomotives.
