Life and register readings

Mustafa Sırrı Efendi was born in Kemah in 1854/55 (AH 1271). At about 20, in 1875/76, Mustafa Sırrı began work in Kemah, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1875/76, with Mustafa Sırrı as Belediye kâtibi in Kemah, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1885/86. For 1883 to 1885 the lists have no entry. Mustafa Sırrı then moved to Kurucay in 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1889. The last entry, for 1890/91, names Mustafa Sırrı as Memleha memuru, with no place.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to a peak of 400 in 1889/90, in Kurucay, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 25,800 kuruş, 47 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.
