Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1878 (AH 1295), Mehmed Kemaleddin Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Uşak kazası reji müdiri". Work began in Bursa in 1896/97, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with Mehmed Kemaleddin as Mulazemet in Bursa, the birthplace. The last entries, from 1897 to 1901, name Mehmed Kemaleddin as muvakkat müzâyede kitâbetleri, with no place.

The salary went from 190 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 250 in 1900/01, the peak, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 7,560 kuruş, 52 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
