Title:
"Anoba's Report of Anyinam and District in 1887"
Description
He was absent in Akwapim on vacation when the persecution broke out. On returning to Anyinam he found that many of the Christians had scattered, specifically naming Nkwatia, Agogo and Abokbbi as places to which he had lost members. Anoba's property at least was not damaged – it was taken by some friends of his in Anyinam towns into their house to be looked after. The Asunafo congregation, with only one exception, ran away to Kwahu. While there the property of one man was destroyed (Jos. Gyammera), and much damage was done to the chapel by the Abomosu people - they broke pulpit, door, windows, benches, altar and lamps. Abomosu – he had heard that some of the Christians destroyed their own houses in the breaking up of the Christian village. One Christian woman hung herself in Akropong during the persecutions.
