Life and register readings

Mehmet Bahattin Efendi was born in Sivas in 1874/75 (AH 1291). At about 21, in 1895/96, Mehmet Bahattin began work in Hafik (Koçhisar), on a first salary of 125 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, places Mehmet Bahattin in Hafik as nüfus kâtibi, where the entries run to 1901/02. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1903 give a second post, in Darende as nüfus memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1904 give a second post, in Kangal as nüfus memuru. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1906. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1907 give a second post, in a post with no place named as nüfus memuru.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 250 in 1901/02, the peak, in Darende, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 16,500 kuruş, 37 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.
