Life and register readings
Ömer Lütfi Efendi① was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1883/84 (AH 1301). Work began in Didymoteicho in 1898/99, at about 15, on a first salary of 40 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1898/99, places Ömer Lütfi Efendi① in Didymoteicho, the birthplace, as Ziraat Bankası odacısı, where the entries run to 1903/04. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1908. At the same time, from 1903/04, the lists also place Ömer Lütfi Efendi① in Havsa as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı Muhasebe Kâtibi refakati. The last post was in Didymoteicho again in 1908/09. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1903/04.
The salary went from 40 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 500 in 1908/09, the peak, in Didymoteicho, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 11,400 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
