Life and register readings

Mustafa Nuri Efendi was born in Tokat in 1864/65 (AH 1281). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 16, in 1879/80, Mustafa Nuri began work. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Mustafa Nuri as Stajyer and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1890 give a second post, in Erbaa as Sandık Emini. For 1890 to 1893 the lists have no entry. The last entry, for 1893/94, names Mustafa Nuri as Sandık Emini, with no place.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 360 in 1885/86, in Erbaa, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
