Life#
Ali Rıza Efendi was born in Niğde in 1859/60 (AH 1276). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Ketebe.
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 Niğde in 1876/77 (AH 1293). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 7 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1882/83, the official was about 23 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1882/83, shows Posta Memuru in Thessaloniki (Selanik), with 400 kuruş a month. In 1883/84 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Mount Athos (Aynaroz), with 400 kuruş a month (before: Posta Memuru in Thessaloniki). In 1886/87 the record shows Merkez Memuru in Mount Athos, the salary going from 400 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Mount Athos). In 1889/90 the record shows Merkez Memuru in Anamur, the salary going from 500 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Merkez Memuru in Mount Athos). In 1897/98 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Kunduraki, the salary going from 600 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Merkez Memuru in Anamur). In 1899/1900 the record shows 3. Müdür in Anamur, the salary going from 500 to 540 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Kunduraki). No annual entry is recorded for 1896/97 and 1898/99.
The highest salary, 600 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1889/90 as Merkez Memuru. 58 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 19 years with a salary the median is 540 kuruş a month, with 3 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 100 kuruş, is seen in 1886/87. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 1.51 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1902/03, when 60 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.
