Life and register readings
Mehmet Şükrü Efendi was born in Kars; the father was a merchant (tüccar). The annual lists begin in 1878 (AH 1295), with Mehmet Şükrü as Tütün Fabrikası muavini in Erzincan. Mehmet Şükrü then moved to Ağrı in 1879/80 and Siirt in 1884/85. For 1880 to 1884 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1886 give a second post, in Bitlis as Merkez aşar kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Memlaha başkâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1897. The last post was in Mardin in 1901/02.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1878 to 1,000 in 1897/98, the peak, when 83 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 102,480 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.
