Life#
Ali Rıza Efendi was born in Edirne in 1871/72 (AH 1288). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Telgraf Muduru.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Merzifon in 1886/87 (AH 1304). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 6 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 500 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1892/93, the official was about 21 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1892/93, shows 3. Müdür in Merzifon, with 500 kuruş a month. In 1895/96 the record shows 3. Müdür in Geyve, the salary going from 500 to 600 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Merzifon). In 1899/1900 the record shows 3. Müdür in Ivaylovgrad (Ortaköy), with 540 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Geyve). In 1901/02 the record shows 3. Müdür in Tahire, the salary going from 540 to 600 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Ivaylovgrad). In 1903/04 the record shows 3. Müdür in Uşak, the salary going from 600 to 500 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Tahire). No annual entry is recorded for 1900/01 and 1902/03.
The highest salary, 600 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1895/96 as 3. Müdür. 59 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 10 years with a salary the median is 540 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 100 kuruş, is seen in 1895/96. The last salary is the same as the first. The last salary is recorded in 1903/04, when 51 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1903/04 (AH 1321): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
