AFTER NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, MR. W.H.LAURENE
LEAVES HOSPITAL AND CONTINUES HIS SEARCH
Man Who Has Suffered Eighte en Years in Turkish Prison Has
Left Augusta For Other Citie s to Search For His Wife and
Daughter, Whom He Has Not Seen For Nearly a Score of
Years.
Mr. VT. H. Laurene left Augusta last
Friday after having been in the hospital
and recovered sufficiently to continue his
nation-wide search for his wife and
daughter whom he has not seen in almost
a score of years. Savannah was to be
his next stop. ’
The story of Mr. Laurene, who has re
cently escaped the tortures of eighteen
years in a Turkish prison, was related
in The Herald of two Sundays ago. A
brier summary of the story is as fol
lows: W. H. Laurene, a Mis.dssippian
of French extraction and his wife, also
a Southerner of French extraction, have
been separated by chance—or fate—for
nearly a score of years. His daughter,
Miss Tommie Laurene, is now nineteen
years old if she is alive, and he has not
not seen her since she was a baby. Near
ly a score of years ago Mr. Laurene be
came a member of the French army and
became prisoner in a skirmish with the
Turks. For eighteen years he suffered
the unspeakable torture which only Turks
are capable of inflicting. On December
3. 191 1>. the French captured the Turk
ish village of Ambrola, where he was im
COLORED Y. M. G. A. ASKS FOR SUPPORT
OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY
To the Public:
The colored Y. M. C. A. of Augusta Is
now thirteen years old, having been
founded in 1904. For the past nine
years we have been affiliated with the
International Y. M. C. A. committee. Our
o.asoctation has been represented in three
International conventions; our general sec
retary has attended two annual sessions
of the summer school for colored Y.
M. C. A. secretaries; and for the past
eight years our annual report has ap
peared regularly in the Association Year
Book, published by the international
committee.
But though connected with and af
filiated with the international body, our
association Is not a branch association.
In the beginning we sought to become
a branch osgacltlon, but at that Jim© the
white association here did not f*el finan
cially able to become the central organ
ization of a metropolitan system—-
thought It not advisable to take our or
ganization under Its sheltering wings,
and hence we were obliged to go It lr
dependent ly.
Not being a branch organization, we
have our own hoard of directors; the
title to our property is in th*‘ name of
our hoard; our board manages its own
affairs, elects its own officers, and Is
glad always to keep in touch, as it does,
with the splendid i" d] '- f International
secretaries so rwork among colored peo
ple. headed by J. E. Moorland.
We recognize as fully as anybody the
need of Improvement In our work and
In our facilities. We need a new build
ing. with modern equipment, and we
need the service* of a secretary who can
devote aI! of his time to the work of our
organization. We are hoping that when
our founder and president. Rev. Dr C.
T. Walker, a man well-known and well
loved and of wide influence in Y. M.
C. A. work both in this count™ and In
Canada, shall have completed hi* great
Institutional church, which I* now near
ing completion .that we shall then be
able to take steps to secure a new build
ing, and put our work on a firmer basin.

prisoned, and he, along with several other
prisoners, regained his liberty. After his
liberation he went to Cape Town, Africa,
hearing that his wife was there. His
search there w'as of no avail and so he
came to America, landing in New York
on April 12. 1915, since when he has been
to many cities searching for his lost wife
and child.
While in Augusta—he came here about
three weeks ago—he suffered a nervous
breakdown, due no doubt to his tortures
of eighteen years. He was treated at the
University hospital and left there Thurs
day. And now r he will continue the
search in other cities.
Mr. Laurene is a Mason. The above is
the story as he tells it. One of his thumbs
is missing. He says it was amputated
bv the Turks in their fiendish methods
bf torture. His body is covered with
whelps and soars, the grim reminders of
the lashes in the hands of the terrible
Turks. He is now 46 years old, but
looks much older, showing the effects of
his imprisonment.
He,made many friends in Augusta, w’ho
wish him early success in his search for
his wife and daughter.
Until that time, we beg the favor and
continued consideration of the colored
citizens of Augusta, male and female.
We take pardonable pride in the work
we have been permitted to do for the
good of our community, even with our
limited facilities.
Three different times, when our city
was visited hv great public calamities—
twice by terrible floods and once by a
disastrous fire—the colored Y. M. C. A.
furnished the committees which had
charge of the relief work among the col
ored people, under the direction of and
In Intimate association with the white
committees. How well we arcomplish
ed this work, and what, the white com
mittees thought of our account of our
stewardship, are matters of nubile record.
But not only In tln.es of public mis
fortune have we proven of service to this
community. We have kept In close touch
with the Associated Charities, the Juve
nile court ,the police court, and the mu*
pU-lnal authorities, and In this way we
nav* rendereo from year to year effect
ive help to the less fortunate of our race.
During different years we have held
regular weekly religious services at the
County Reformatory, the County Jail,
the Uity Stockade, the Lamar Hospital,
and on the streets of Augusta. These
meetings have been in addition to our
Sunday afternoon meetings at our build
ing and tne once-a-month public rneet-
Ing at some colored church.
We have conducted a night school for
many years. During the great. Georgia
railroad strike, It was oy means of our
night school th-t thirty-five or forty
firemen were ho drilled that they were
abb* successfully to pass their examina
tions and hold their positions.
Our building has served a* a kind of
Clearing house for all good and worthy
causes In behalf of the colored race. The
Baptist minister* meet regularly In our
building every week Three business cor
poration* have been organized in our
building; namely, the Negro Fair A**o
ciatlon, the Augusta Merchandising Co.,
and the Standard Merchandising Co. The
UNITED PRESS.
We believe these facts, plainly stated, will appeal to the
sound common sense of everyone who reads them.
