Life and register readings
Born in Sivas in 1855/56 (AH 1272), Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). Hüseyin Hüsnü began work in 1875/76, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1875/76, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Sivas, the birthplace, as telgrafhane hizmeti (başlangıç). For 1877 to 1887 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1876/77 give a second post, in Yıldızeli as telgraf muhabere memuru. The last entries, from 1887 to 1897, name Hüseyin Hüsnü as Telgraf Memuru, with a rise to telgraf ve posta merkez müdürü in 1896/97, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1888 to 1896.
The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to 500 in 1896/97, the peak, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
