Life and register readings

Yusuf Efendi was born in Erzincan into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Refahiye kazası malmüdürü". The first annual entry, for 1909/10 (AH 1327), places Yusuf in Hınıs as Merkez memur mülazımı. The last post was in Erzincan, the birthplace, in 1911.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1909/10 to a peak of 300 in 1911, in Erzincan, when 16 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911.
