Life and register readings
Hüsnü Efendi was born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1878 (AH 1295); the father was a tradesman (esnaf). At about 17, in 1895/96, Hüsnü began work in Pristina. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Hüsnü as Telgrafhane stajyeri and no place named, with a rise to Telgraf ve posta merkezi memuru in 1903/04.
The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 600 in 1904/05, the peak, when two in three paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 24,600 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
