Life#
Mustafa Sabri Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1870/71 (AH 1287). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Muderris.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Elbistan in 1885/86 (AH 1303). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 250 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1889/90, the official was about 19 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1889/90, shows Muhabere Memuru in Elbistan, with 250 kuruş a month. In 1891/92 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Idlib (İdlib), with 250 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Elbistan). In 1892/93 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Kahramanmaraş (Maraş), the salary going from 250 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Idlib). In 1895/96 the record shows 3.
