Life and register readings

Şuayb Şükrü Efendi was born in Canbolad Köyü in 1881/82 (AH 1299); the father was a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Sivas in 1904/05, at about 22, on a first salary of 325 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1904/05, with Şuayb Şükrü as Vilayet Kayıt Memuru in Sivas. At the same time, from 1904/05, the lists also place Şuayb Şükrü in Divriği as Öşür İhale Memuru (ilave). The annual lists then follow Şuayb Şükrü to Niksar in 1906/07. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1912 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam Vekili, with a rise to district governor (Kaymakam) in 1908/09.

The salary went from 325 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 1,500 in 1909/10, the peak, as Kaymakam, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 56,100 kuruş, 2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.

Places in order of time
