Life

Mustafa Fahri Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1865/66 (AH 1282), into the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Schooling took seven years, at a middle school (Rüşdiye Mektebi).

The first annual entry, for 1891/92, places Mustafa Fahri in Van as a policeman (Polis), where the entries run to 1894/95, with a rise to police commissioner, third class (3. Sınıf Polis Komiseri) in 1892/93. In 1895/96 the lists place Mustafa Fahri in Aleppo (Halep).

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 400 in 1892/93, the peak, as 3. Sınıf Polis Komiseri in Van, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1895/96. An entry in "Sicill-i Ahvâl Defterlerine göre Osmanlı bürokrasisinde görev yapan İşkodralı devlet ..." by AHMET MURAT ATABAY (2022) probably refers to Mustafa Fahri, since the name, the birthplace and the archive register and second number agree.
