Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Murad Efendi began in Harput in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Telgraf ve muharrerât görevlisi". Hüseyin Murad began work in Harput in 1891/92, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Hüseyin Murad as Telgrafhane mülazımı in Harput, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1895/96. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve posta başmüdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1907 give a second post, in Diyarbakır as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Palu as Telgraf ve posta merkezi müdürü.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 500 in 1906/07, in Palu, when 51 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.
