Life and register readings
Mehmed Halis Efendi was born in Erzincan, into the İslam community. Work began in Erzincan in 1884/85 (AH 1302), on a first salary of 400 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1884/85 to 1910/11 places Mehmed Halis in Erzincan, the birthplace, first as Evkaf Müdürü, from 1910/11 as Evkaf Memuru. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to 1,000 in 1910/11, the peak, as Evkaf Memuru in Erzincan, when 67 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
