Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Fehmi Efendi began in Sivas in 1878 (AH 1295). The first annual entry, for 1896/97, names Mehmet Fehmi as Stajyer (Görevin sona ermesi), with no place. For 1897 to 1899 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1896 to 1900 give a second post, in Hafik as Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe kitabeti refakati. At the same time, from 1899/1900, the lists also place Mehmet Fehmi in Suşehri in the Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe kitabeti.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 400 in 1899/1900, in Suşehri, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

Places in order of time
