Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Emin Efendi began in Çorum in 1883/84 (AH 1301). The first annual entry, for 1905/06, names Mehmet Emin as Ziraat Bankası yazı ve hesap işleri yardımcısı, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1909 give a second post, in Çorum as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe yazıcısı. At the same time, from 1908/09, the lists also place Mehmet Emin in Merzifon as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kalemi memuru.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to 500 in 1908/09, the peak, in Merzifon, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 10,800 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.

Places in order of time
