Life and register readings

The life of Osman Nuri Efendi began in Burdur in 1872/73 (AH 1289). Osman Nuri began work in Kandıra in 1889/90, at about 17, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, places Osman Nuri in Kandıra as Ziraat Bankası Şubesi Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi, where the entries run to 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in Uşak as Ziraat Bankası Şubesi Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi. Next came Aydın in 1896/97. For 1897 to 1910 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Uşak as Ziraat Bankası Şubesi Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi (İnfisal). In place of a title the lists give Mazuliyet for 1910/11.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 1,000 in 1896/97, in Aydın, when four in five paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 330 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
