Life and register readings

Osman Nuri Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1861/62 (AH 1278). At about 17, in 1878/79, Osman Nuri began work in Elbistan. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Osman Nuri as Aşar dairesi mülazımı in Elbistan, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1880/81. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in Zor as Sancak idare meclisi mukayyidi. Osman Nuri then moved to Elbistan in 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1886 give a second post, in Elbistan as Bidayet mahkemesi müstantik muavini. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1880/81 instead of a title.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 400 in 1884/85, the peak, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1885/86.

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.
