Life#
Mehmet Şakir Efendi was born in Keskin in 1841/42 (AH 1257). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Hutabadan(Vaiz).
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The personnel records also mark the telegraph school. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1876/77 (AH 1293). The official was then about 35 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 500 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1877/78, the official was about 36 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1877/78, shows Muhabere Memuru in Kastamonu, with 500 kuruş a month. In 1888/89 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Beyobasi, the salary going from 285 to 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Kastamonu). No annual entry is recorded for 1878 to 1887.
The highest salary, 500 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1877/78 as Muhabere Memuru. 36 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 560 kuruş. Over 7 years with a salary the median is 380 kuruş a month, with 1 rise and 1 cut. The largest rise, 95 kuruş, is seen in 1888/89. From the first salary to the last the salary fell by 1.7 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1892/93, when 24 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1893/94 (AH 1311): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
