Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Edirne in 1853/54 (AH 1270). At about 32, in 1885/86, Hüseyin Hüsnü began work in Edirne. The first annual entry, for 1885/86, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as İskân-ı Muhacir Komisyonu fahri kâtibi, with no place.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 650 in 1902/03, when 71 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.
