V.H. Apelian's Blog: Home for the Armenian Aged: History

In 1993 I wrote the story of the founding of the Home for the Armenian Aged, in Emerson, NJ,. The Board of the Trustees had it published as a special edition of its periodical "Haydoun", the Home's periodical. My primary sources were Home's first president Arousiag Jerahian's memoir and others such as the old editions of its periodical "Haydoun" and the Armenian press at the time

I have reproduced the entire booklet in seven segments that are attached here. Each segment was posted as a separate blog previously.
