Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Fuad Efendi began in Malatya in 1882/83 (AH 1300); the father's occupation was "Zürra (çiftçi)". Mehmed Fuad began work in 1901/02, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1901/02, names Mehmed Fuad as Telgraf stajyeri, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1905 give a second post, in Payas as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi Muhabere Memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1906 give a second post, in Zvezdets as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi Muhabere Memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi Muhabere Memuru.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to 300 in 1905/06, the peak, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 9,600 kuruş, 64 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.
