Life and register readings

Osman Nuri Efendi was born in Malatya in 1878/79 (AH 1296); the father's occupation was "Çiftlikât-ı Hümayun Dava Vekâleti memuru". Work began in 1894/95, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Osman Nuri as Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı and no place named. At the same time, from 1898/99, the lists also place Osman Nuri in Malatya as Hazine-i Celile dava vekili (ilave memuriyet). The last post was in Niš (Niş) in 1907/08.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 1,200 in 1907/08, the peak, when 83 per cent of paid officials earned less. Pay rose to 40 times the first salary; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more rose as far. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
