Life and register readings

Mehmet Şükrü Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1859/60 (AH 1276); the father's occupation was "Ziraat". Work began in Elbistan in 1887/88, at about 28. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, places Mehmet Şükrü in Elbistan, the birthplace, as Mukavelat muharriri, where the entries run to 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1890 to 1892. At the same time, from 1889/90, the lists also place Mehmet Şükrü in a post with no place named as Açığa çıkarılma. From 1892 to 1907 the annual entries place Mehmet Şükrü again in Elbistan. For 1894 to 1906 the lists have no entry. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1893/94 instead of a title.

The one salary in the lists is 250 kuruş a month, for 1906/07, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
