[2] Following the complete destruction of his home town, Isaakio, by the Ottoman forces under Hadjiestrev Agha, he and his grandfather were reduced to work as the Agha's serfs, after the possessions of Greek inhabitants of the village were confiscated.

He died in 1920 at the claimed age of 115, [2] [4] [a] just after Western Thrace, including his home town, had become incorporated into Greece.
