Life#
Halil Efendi was born in Mardin in 1850/51 (AH 1267). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Asina; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Mardin in 1868/69 (AH 1285). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 380 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1872/73, the official was about 21 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1872/73, shows Muhabere Memuru in Bitlis, with 380 kuruş a month. In 1875/76 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Mardin, the salary going from 400 to 450 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Bitlis). In 1880/81 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Diyarbakır, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Mardin). In 1887/88 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Feres (Ferecik), the salary going from 570 to 800 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Diyarbakır). In 1889/90 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Van, the salary going from 800 to 750 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Feres).
The highest salary, 900 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1890/91 as Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti. 84 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 25 years with a salary the median is 570 kuruş a month, with 8 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 230 kuruş, is seen in 1887/88. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 3.66 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1895/96, when 85 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1896/97 (AH 1314): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
