Life and register readings

Born in Elbistan in 1864/65 (AH 1281), Mustafa Fevzi Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Biga in 1894/95, at about 30, on a first salary of 1,500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Mustafa Fevzi in Biga as Naip. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1904. Next came Elbistan in 1904/05 and Bandırma in 1909/10. For 1905 to 1909 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1909/10, the lists also place Mustafa Fevzi in Elbistan as Naip.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 1,500 kuruş a month in 1894/95, in Biga, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 48,600 kuruş, 2.9 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
