Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Adil Efendi began in Harput in 1876/77 (AH 1293). Work began in 1899/1900, at about 23, on a first salary of 180 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1899/1900, with Ömer Adil as İbtidai mektebi muallimi and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1900 to 1903. The annual lists then follow Ömer Adil to Ermenek in 1903/04. For 1904 to 1906 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1906 to 1909, name Ömer Adil as Tahsilat müfettişi, with no place.

Pay rose from 180 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 700 in 1908/09, when two in three paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
