Life and register readings

Mildonyan Maksut Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father was a jeweller (kuyumcu). At about 22, in 1895/96, Mildonyan Maksut began work in Kütahya, on a first salary of 270 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Mildonyan Maksut as İdadi Lisan-ı Osmanî, coğrafya ve resim muallimi in Kütahya, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1896 to 1901 give a second post, in Bilecik as Ermeni Mektebi Lisan-ı Osmanî ve Fransızca muallimi. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Düyun-u Umumiye tezkire-i tevzi memuru.

Pay rose from 270 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 300 in 1900/01, in Bilecik, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 16,800 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
