According to a letter from a cousin, Elisha Khamis, to a #WelshMethodist preacher in #USA, Issac was killed in 1915 in an anti-Christian massacre in the Ottoman Empire, broadly in the Kurdistan region. It looks as if Elisha later emigrated and settled in the US.

Judging from the way in which the 1890s articles report about Issac's lectures, he was genuinely welcomed by the #Welsh congregations and held quite dear.

If anyone might have any further info on Issac Kamis, who also spoke under the name of "Isaac of Persia" during his lecturing tours in #Wales and #England, please get in touch.
