Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Şükrü Efendi began in Harput in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Telgraf ve posta müdürü". At about 23, in 1901/02, Mehmed Şükrü began work in Budak, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1901/02, places Mehmed Şükrü in Budak as Telgraf ve posta merkezi memuru, where the entries run to 1905/06. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere memuru.
Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to a peak of 500 in 1905/06, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
