Life and register readings

İshak Bey was born in Giresun in 1856/57 (AH 1273); the father's occupation was "Giresun Meclis-i İdare azası". From the first annual entry, for 1874/75, to 1892/93, every annual entry places İshak in the same post, Belediye kâtibi, in Giresun, the birthplace. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 400 in 1883/84, in Giresun, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 14 years of salary come to 45,540 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
