Life#
Servet Efendi was born in Ankara in 1854/55 (AH 1271). The record gives the community as Greek Orthodox Christian (Rum) and the father's occupation as tabip.
Schooling recorded: İbtidai Mektebi (primary school), with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Armenian, with Asina; Greek (Rum), with Asina; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Ankara in 1870/71 (AH 1287). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1874/75, the official was about 19 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1874/75, shows Muhabere Memuru in İzmit, with 400 kuruş a month. In 1877/78 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Ankara, the salary going from 500 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in İzmit). In 1878 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in İzmit, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Ankara). In 1880/81 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Kavala, with 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in İzmit). In 1888/89 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Korçë (Görice), the salary going from 380 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Kavala). In 1889/90 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Alexandroupoli (Dedeağaç), with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Korçë). In 1893/94 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Enez (İnoz), the salary going from 400 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Alexandroupoli).
The highest salary, 500 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1876/77 as Muhabere Memuru. 36 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 582.5 kuruş. Over 25 years with a salary the median is 400 kuruş a month, with 3 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 100 kuruş, is seen in 1876/77. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 0.93 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1897/98, when 49 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1898/99 (AH 1316): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
