"Kromer's Report for the First Quarter 1871"

Reports that because of the difficulty of getting Akims to do regular work, they brought in Accra workmen for their building operations. With them came a lockmaker who asked for a place to live and work on the station, and because there was no smith anywhere near who could do work for them, the missionaries decided to accept his proposal. The workers were all heathen, though nevertheless quiet and conscientious. A few attended services, although they understood little Twi. Some had worked at Ho for the Bremen missionaries, and felt very dependent on mission work, and were sorry when the work at Kibi came to an end and they had to lose their jobs. Mrs Widman had come from Akropong unaccompanied to be with Mrs Kromer at the birth of her child.
