Life#
Born in Manisa in 1882/83 (AH 1300), Hasan Hüseyin Efendi came from the Muslim (Müslüman) community; the father's occupation was "serif". Hasan Hüseyin was taught by a private teacher.
Work began in Izmir (İzmir) in 1905/06, at about 22, paid from the start, on 235 kuruş a month. The first annual entry, for 1905/06, places Hasan Hüseyin in Izmir as a postal official (Posta Memuru), where the entries run to 1907/08. The last post was in Manisa, the birthplace, in 1908/09.
Pay rose from 235 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to a peak of 300 in 1906/07, as Posta Memuru in Izmir, when one in four paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 13,620 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1908/09. An entry in "Sicill-i Ahval kayıtlarına göre Manisa doğumlu memurlar (1879-1909)" by NİZAM BERKAN MERCAN (2025) probably refers to Hasan Hüseyin, since the name, the birthplace, the archive register and page and a place of service agree.
