Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Hakkı Efendi began in Biga in 1864/65 (AH 1281). At about 25, in 1889/90, İsmail Hakkı began work in Karabiga, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. From 1889/90 to 1894/95 every annual entry places İsmail Hakkı in Karabiga, first as Rüsumat kolcusu, from 1894/95 as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru).

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 400 in 1894/95, as Rüsumat Memuru in Karabiga, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 19,200 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
