Life and register readings

Osman Şükrü Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1859/60 (AH 1276). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 24, in 1883/84, Osman Şükrü began work in Kütahya. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, places Osman Şükrü in Kütahya, the birthplace, as Kütahya Sancağı Muhasebe Kitabeti mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1891 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Eğrigöz Nahiyesi Kabzımallığı. The last posts were in Uşak from 1891 to 1897. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1896. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1890/91.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 400 in 1891/92, in Uşak, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.
