Life and register readings
Born in Erzincan, Yusuf Cemal Beğ came from the İslam community; the father was a colonel (miralay). Work began in 1879/80 (AH 1297), on a first salary of 80 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Yusuf Cemal Beğ as mülazım (kalem) and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1887, 1888 to 1894, 1898 to 1903, 1904 to 1909 and 1910 to 1912. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1912/13.
The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 1,500 in 1909/10, the peak, when four in five paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 82,608 kuruş, 2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.
