Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki) in 1848/49 (AH 1265). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as imam.

Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Izmir (İzmir) in 1889/90 (AH 1307). The official was then about 41 years old. The record gives no years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet). The first-salary field gives 385 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1889/90, the official was about 41 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1889/90, shows Seyyar Memur in Izmir, with 385 kuruş a month.

The highest salary, 500 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1902/03 as Seyyar Memur. 49 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 14 years with a salary the median is 385 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 100 kuruş, is seen in 1902/03. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 2.03 per cent a year on average.

A death is recorded under 1902/03 (AH 1320): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
