Life and register readings

Born in Sivas (Oğlan Çavuş mahallesi) in 1861/62 (AH 1278) into the İslam community, Yusuf Ziyaeddin Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). The personnel record dates the first work to 1893/94, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, places Yusuf Ziyaeddin in Sivas as Sivas Rüşdiye-i Mülkiyesine giriş. The lists have no entry for 1871 to 1893. The last entries, from 1893 to 1909, name Yusuf Ziyaeddin as Ulum-ı diniye muallimi, with no place. For 1894 to 1907 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to 320 in 1908/09, the peak, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 10,440 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
