Life and register readings

MUHAMMED EMİN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1856/57 (AH 1273); the father was a merchant (tüccar). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Work began in Karbala (Kerbela) in 1882/83, at about 26, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1882/83, with MUHAMMED EMİN as Enhar-ı Hüseyniyye sed memuru in Karbala, where the entries run to 1888/89. For 1889 to 1897 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1888/89, the lists also place MUHAMMED EMİN in a post with no place named as istifa (İnfisal). The annual lists then follow MUHAMMED EMİN to Al-Karak in 1897/98. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1899 give a second post, in Kirkuk as Ziraat Bankası şubesi meclis azası (fahri).

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 500 in 1898/99, the peak, in Kirkuk, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 31,200 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
