Life#
Mehmet Nuri Efendi was born in Amasya in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Giresun in 1880/81 (AH 1298): Asar Kitabeti. The official was then about 20 years old. The record gives no years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet). The first-salary field gives 250 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1880/81, the official was about 20 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1880/81, shows Aşar Memuru in Giresun, with 250 kuruş a month. In 1881/82 the record shows Aşar Memuru in Trabzon, with 250 kuruş a month (before: Aşar Memuru in Giresun). In 1882/83 the record shows Aşar Memuru, the salary going from 250 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Aşar Memuru in Trabzon). In 1887/88 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Rize, the salary going from 300 to 200 kuruş a month (before: Aşar Memuru). In 1891/92 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Samsun, the salary going from 200 to 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Rize).
