Life and register readings

Ömer Asım Bey was born in Ürgüp in 1855/56 (AH 1272); the father's occupation was "Tolcu ticaret reisi". At about 16, in 1872/73, Ömer Asım began work. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Ömer Asım as Tahrirat kalemine giriş and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in Erzurum as Merkez müdde-i umumi muavini.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 370 kuruş a month in 1873/74, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 15 years pay ended where it began, at 370 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.
