Life and register readings

İsmail Hakkı Efendi was born in Bilecik in 1858/59 (AH 1275); the father's occupation was "Sıbyan mektebi muallimi". Work began in Bilecik in 1879/80, at about 21. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with İsmail Hakkı as Gümrük İdaresi mülazemeti in Bilecik, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1881/82. Next came a post with no place named from 1883 to 1892. At the same time, from 1884 to 1886, the lists also place İsmail Hakkı in Osmaneli (Lefke) as Düyun-u Umumiye İdaresi su kitabet sandık eminliği.

The salary went from 280 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 500 in 1890/91, the peak, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 12 years of salary come to 43,080 kuruş, 74 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.
