WEYMOUTH ARMENIAN GENOCIDE SURVIVOR IS 102
The Patriot Ledger
March 1 2012
Happy Birthday wishes and congratulations today to Asdghig Alemian
of Weymouth as she turns 102 and celebrates with her family.
Alemian escaped from the 1915 Armenian Genocide as a young girl,
after both her parents were killed.
She was brought to this country at age 12, in 1922, from a Syrian
orphanage by an uncle and has lived in Weymouth since that time.
She and her family lived in East Weymouth near Jackson Square where
she ran a grocery store near the Immaculate Conception Church for
many years.
In recent years, Alemian took part in events with the Armenian-American
community in Watertown and at the State House to underscore the
importance of officially recognizing the Armenian genocide.
