Life

Hasan Bey was born in Cerkezistan in 1853/54 (AH 1270) into the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Schooling took four years, at a primary school (İbtidai Mektebi).

The first annual entry, for 1875/76, places Hasan in Istanbul as 3. Sinif Teftis Memuru, where the entries run to 1880/81. Next came Beyoğlu from 1881 to 1896, with a rise to police commissioner, second class (2. Sınıf Polis Komiseri), then Kastamonu from 1896 to 1901. The last posts were in Aleppo in 1901/02, as a chief police commissioner (Başkomiser) and Kastamonu again from 1902 to 1904.

The salary went from 380 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to 1,000 in 1901/02, the peak, as Başkomiser in Aleppo, when 87 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 30 years of salary come to 221,580 kuruş, 1.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
