"W. Huppenbauer's Report for the District in 1885"

The report is largely printed as an annex to the 1886 Annual Report pp84-94. Additional material: In Begoro they had built a new teacher's house in 1885, and were in the process of building for the Middle School. In Apapam there is a catechist's house, a temporary chapel-school building, a small group of Christian’s houses on mission land. The same being true of Apedwa. In Asafo mission land had been bought in 1885, as it had in Sadwumase, an outstation of Asiakwa. The buildings in Asiakwa are reported to be as those in Apapam, Tumfa similarly, Asunafo similarly, though with a new chapel, Abomosu is unoccupied by a mission employee, and the deacons’ house had been put to use as the chapel. In Kwabeng there were a catechist's house, a temporary chapel, and a small Christian village. Anyinam is reported in similar terms, though there was additionally, built in 1885, a deacon's house with a guest room for travelling Europeans; Fankeyenko, no Christian village and an unfinished catechist’s house with guest room. In Tafo mission land has been bought. In Kukurantumi there are two employee's houses and a cemetery in addition to the chapel and Christian village. In Tete there are a number of Christian’s houses, though these are not on mission land - no land has been bought. The situation in Akim Akropong is similar. One element omitted from the original is the report that in Asafo, when a polygamist had put away one of his wives in order to become a Christian, she had hanged herself in the forest. The heathen claimed the Christians were responsible for this event.
