Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Fahreddin Bey began in Akhisar in 1875/76 (AH 1292); the father's occupation was "Aber Sancağı eski mutasarrıfı". At about 27, in 1902/03, Ömer Fahreddin began work in Aydın, on a first salary of 1,260 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, places Ömer Fahreddin in Aydın as Bidayet Mahkemesi müddeiumumi muavini. The lists have no entry for 1903 to 1905. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1905 to 1907.

Pay rose from 1,260 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to a peak of 1,350 in 1905/06, in Istanbul, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 47,520 kuruş, 3.1 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.
