Life and register readings

The life of Yusuf Zeki Efendi began in Elbistan in 1887/88 (AH 1305). Yusuf Zeki began work in Elbistan in 1902/03, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1902/03, with Yusuf Zeki as a candidate official (Mülazım) and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1907 to 1909.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1909/10, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,000 kuruş, 44 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
