Ernest Yarrow
Ernest Alfred Yarrow (21 February 1876 – 26 October 1939) was a Christian missionary and a witness to the Armenian Genocide. He is also known for his leadership of a relief effort carried out by the Near East Foundation that saved and cared for tens of thousands of Armenian refugees.
Yarrow was stationed in Van vilayet, Turkey, in 1915 when an estimated 55,000 Armenians were massacred there by Turkish troops in the earliest stages of the genocide, and he was also an eyewitness to the subsequent defense of Van. He later publicly declared that "the Turks and Kurds have declared a holy war on the Armenians and have vowed to exterminate them." He also described the Van massacres and those which followed across Turkey as an "organized, systematic attempt to wipe out the Armenians."〔
==Early life==
Ernest Yarrow was born in London, England, to a Primitive Methodist family. He and his family moved to the United States when Yarrow was one year old. Once in the United States, Yarrow attended the Northfield Seminary founded by Evangelist preacher Dwight L. Moody. After graduating from there in 1897, he continued his education in Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, graduating in 1901.〔 At Wesleyan, he also played football, acquiring a reputation for strong tackling.〔 He joined the local First Congregational Church then took theological courses at the Hartford Seminary. Upon graduating from the Hartford Seminary in May 1904, Yarrow married his roommate's sister, Jane Tuckley, in August of that year. Yarrow then joined the world missionary movement and was sent to Van, Ottoman Empire by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Yarrow became very active in the Van college where he was in charge of the boys' school.
After serving for several years, Yarrow returned to the United States for a brief visit in 1912. In 1913, however, Yarrow and his wife returned to Van to continue with missionary duties.〔"Ernest A.
