Life and register readings

Ömer Yümnî Bey was born in Ürgüp in 1861/62 (AH 1278). At about 18, in 1879/80, Ömer Yümnî began work in Ürgüp, on a first salary of 240 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Ömer Yümnî as Öşür idaresi ikinci kâtibi in Ürgüp, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1886/87. For 1887 to 1890 the lists have no entry. Next came Burdur from 1890 to 1893. Alongside, the lists for 1892/93 give a second post, in Kayseri as Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi reisi.

Pay rose from 240 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to a peak of 1,400 in 1890/91, in Burdur, when 87 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 86,280 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
