Elmon was the daughter of H. (Haroutune?) Kurkjian and his wife, who's name is believed to be Shoghagat Aghababian based on the wedding certificate of Elmon's brother, presuming they shared a mother. Elmon's date of birth is unknown but it is estimated to be between 1875-1880, as she had her first son in 1895. She was married to Krikor Dulgarian of Yozgat, Turkey and they had children Ardashes, Verteym (Rose), and Avedis. Her cause of death is unknown, but it happened while her children were very young. Avedis's given birth year is 1900 so she could have died that year due to childbirth related complications or some other reason in the years after. The Dulgarian family likely still lived in Yozgat when she died, but sometime in the first decade of the 1900s they moved to the port city of Samsun for business. Elmon's son Ardashes went to Philadelphia in 1913 likely to escape the newly instituted Ottoman draft of Armenians where her brother Kirkor was already living. Her other son Avedis was drafted into the army during World War I, while Krikor was murdered in the 1915 Genocide. Avedis and his sister Rose reunited after the genocide, escaped to Constantinople, and then reconnected with Ardashes and were able to join him in America.
