Life and register readings

Mehmet Halis Efendi was born in Erzincan, into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Dördüncü Ordu-yu Hümayun merkez hastanesi cerrahı". Work began in 1888/89 (AH 1306), on a first salary of 80 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with Mehmet Halis as Tahrirat kısmı mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1894.

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to 320 in 1894/95, the peak, when 37 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1894/95.
