Madame Emilie Carlier was the widow of a French Vice-Consul, Maurice Carlier, who had perished in 1899 of illness contracted during the harsh 1895 winter of the Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896). Both husband and wife were revered for the bravery and humanity they demonstrated in the midst of the Armenian massacres at Sivas, and Mme Carlier's journal of the time was published under the title 'Au milieu des massacres' (In the middle of the Massacres).
