Former Lititz Resident in Smyrna Described by Letter
Dr. O H Yereman, Armenian former Lititz resident who left in 1920 for Asia Minor and later returned to the United States, is noted by James Breitigan of Farmers National Bank as having spoken in several Lititz churches about Turkic cruelties in Smyrna. Yereman, now a naturalized citizen, studied medicine in Chicago and worked in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia hospitals before hospital work in Smyrna. He last lived with the Breitigans and awaits further correspondence from Smyrna. Warwick Grange plans another Lititz Community Show after a spirited meeting in Rothsville with forty members and a task force to coordinate. Warwick Grange has a fine farm products exhibit at the Lancaster Fair.
