Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Söke. Work began in Söke in 1894/95 (AH 1312). The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Söke, the birthplace, as Düyûn-ı Umûmiye mülazımı, where the entries run to 1899/1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in Kırkağaç as Düyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. At the same time, from 1899/1900, the lists also place Hüseyin Hüsnü in Soma as Düyûn-ı Umûmiye memur vekili.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 400 in 1899/1900, in Kırkağaç, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 18,000 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.
