Life and register readings

Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "Rençber". Work began in Kütahya in 1878/79, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Hüseyin Hüsnü as Meclis-i İdare Kalemi mülazımı in Kütahya, the birthplace. Hüseyin Hüsnü then moved to a post with no place named from 1880 to 1886. For 1882 to 1884 and 1886 to 1888 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Uşak in 1888/89.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1880/81, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.

Places in order of time
