Life and register readings

Hüseyin Naci Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1872/73 (AH 1289). At about 21, in 1893/94, Hüseyin Naci began work in Basra, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1893/94, with Hüseyin Naci as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere muavini in Basra, where the entries run to 1897/98. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1899 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere memuru. For 1899 to 1905 the lists have no entry. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1905/06 instead of a title.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to 570 in 1896/97, the peak, in Basra, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 513 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
