Life and register readings

Ömer Efendi was born in Tokat in 1882/83 (AH 1300). At about 26, in 1909/10, Ömer began work in Gürün, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1909/10, with Ömer as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi Muavin Memuru in Gürün. The last post was in Sivas in 1911.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1909/10 to a peak of 400 in 1911, in Sivas, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 12,000 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
