Life and register readings

Osman Azmi Efendi was born in Dagistan in 1853/54 (AH 1270). At about 23, in 1877/78, Osman Azmi began work, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, names Osman Azmi as Asâkir-i Muavene kâtib-i sânisi, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1884 give a second post, in Eleşkirt as Vergi kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1889 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Merkez vergi kitâbeti refik-i sânisi. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1893 give a second post, in Eleşkirt as Vergi kâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1892/93 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Açığa çıkarılma. The annual lists then follow Osman Azmi to Eleşkirt from 1895 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in Kiğı as Vergi kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru and to Tadilât-ı umumiye ikinci fırka muharrir-i evveli in 1900/01.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to a peak of 800 in 1900/01, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
