Life and register readings
The life of Şeyh Mehmed Refik Efendi began in Kırşehir in 1867/68 (AH 1284). At about 15, in 1881/82, Mehmed Refik began work, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Mehmed Refik as muhasebe kalemi mülazımı in Kırşehir, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1887/88. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1896 give a second post, in a post with no place named as askerlik (serçavuş). Mehmed Refik then moved back to Kırşehir from 1896 to 1906. For 1897 to 1901 and 1906 to 1913 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1913/14 give a second post, in Kayseri as Evkaf Memuru.
The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 1,000 in 1913/14, the peak, as Evkaf Memuru in Kayseri, when 36 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years the salaries add up to 21,864 kuruş, 34 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1913/14.
