McIndoes celebrates anniversary of Martha Gleason sailing

McIndoes marks the anniversary of Martha Gleason sailing for Turkey Sunday evening. The American Board sent 81 colored slides from Houston showing Turkey during the great war highlighting officials, the army, deportations, rescue by a French battleship, and representations of the American government and schools. Gleason, still among McIndoes' living residents, spent 15 years in Constantinople and witnessed one of the era’s brutal massacres beginning September 30 with Armenian assaults on a march to the Sublime Porte, followed by panic, fires, and mass pillage. The report includes a patient’s note on kidney treatment with Foley Kidney Pills and a string of local help-wanted ads and notices.
