Life and register readings

Ömer Hulusi Efendi was born in Ürgüp in 1845 (AH 1261); the father's occupation was "Cerrah". At about 18, in 1863/64, Ömer Hulusi began work in Niš (Niş). The annual lists begin in 1863/64, with Ömer Hulusi as Muhasebe kalemi mülazımı in Niš, where the entries run to 1865/66. For 1866 to 1882 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1882 to 1886, name Ömer Hulusi as Vilayet muhasebesi hizmeti, with no place.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 850 in 1883/84, the peak, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 41,400 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1885/86.
