Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Taşköprü in 1856/57 (AH 1273). At about 24, in 1880/81, Hüseyin Hüsnü began work in Taşköprü. The first annual entry, for 1880/81, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Taşköprü, the birthplace, as Maliye Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1881 to 1888. Next came Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki) from 1893 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in Istanbul as İzin. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in Yozgat as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1892/93 instead of a title.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to 800 in 1895/96, the peak, in Yozgat, when three in four paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.
