In the palace in Kibi the first thing you see as you go in is an image, with an offering, of food in front of it. The king himself is usually drunk. They have had to deal with a case of a slave woman left to die on the street, because people prefer slaves not to die in their houses. They took her into the missionary quarters, and tended her till her death two days later, at which friends came with clothes, some gold dust and a dish of fufu as an offering. Strömberg spoke to them about their superstitions and accompanied the body to a grave in the bush where he said a prayer - thus they show the people that they have come for the good of their fellow men, and not for their own advantage. Although he does not say this clearly he is obviously on the side of the Basel Committee over the slave question, saying that it is at the root of much of the harshness. They are faced with theft, lying, laziness, begging, the latter even from the king. There are rays of light - old Jacobo from Gyadam is with them, very attached to them, and very quiet in his ways. And in Kukurantumi the people are singing Christian hymns, although they are still heathen.

The Asante embassy was ordered to Accra by the Colonial Government, tried to escape on the way, but was captured. Two Accra men came to Kibi to take a hostage to Accra as surety of the King of Akim’s loyalty, and to inform him that no ammunition would be sent to him unless he sent an elder with the party to collect it. The Okyenhene agreed straight away to both demands, sending a daughter of one of his sisters as hostage. On the 16th April a messenger arrived with the news that a certain Asante tribe had marched to Kwahu in order to join the Kwahus in an attack on Akim. On hearing the news of the fighting at Akease (this came on the 19th April) the women were sent to Akwapim, and the men went into military order. The missionaries sent some of their valuables to Accra. There were 12 Asantes in the block in Kibi. The first Asante to be killed had been captured in Kukurantumi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.11.1863 Proper date: 03.11.1863 Description An account of the resource Reflects on his having been two years in Africa – his two comrades who journeyed from Basel with him both having died. Among the Kibi catechumens is a man born a house-slave who himself now owns two slaves. He was wounded in the shoulder - a fight early in the year, the missionaries dressed the wound and after conversations he became a catechumen. Eisenschmid is however, hopeful rather than sure of his faith, since he is going to have to give up his two slaves. More particulars about Kukurantumi - the fetish priest has threatened the Christians with death from the fetish. When the chief threateded to send no more children to the school unless a white man came to live in Kukurantumi, Eisenschmid spoke to him about the fact that he was answerable to God for what he did. He remarks that a horse would be very useful in Kibi for travelling around the Akim villages – there would be fodder for it, and since they apparently survive in Asante, why not in Akim? Atta sometimes visits the station in Kibi riding upon one of his men’s shoulders. A Widmann visit to Akim included a trip to Asiakwa where the chief still wants to have a school.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: December 1865 Proper date: December 1865 Description An account of the resource The Kukurantumi-Asafo land case has been settled, and it seems that Eisenschmid was at least an intermediary in the matter since he interviewed the Asafo chief on the subject when he was en route for Kukurantumi, heard that he was prepared to settle for 12 Pereguan (36 dollars) for the land, carried this message to Ampaw the day after everything was peacefully settled. The bulk of the report concerns the 9 people recently baptised in Kukurantumi and Kibi. Eisenschmid remarks as a preface that as a missionary Lechler had said in Basel, they have no conversion history. 1. Josua Abisaw (Kukurantumi). Dedicated to the fetish before his birth because of the frequency with which his mother's previous children had died. On this account he had to appear before the fetish priest from time to time smeared in white and offering 1 shilling - he also became the priest's drummer. As a boy he was pawned to Samang for 8 dollars. His uncle redeemed him but treated him harshly and like a slave; his reward for working in fact went to his master. At the time of his baptism he had been re-pawned for 18 dollars. He sighed for freedom and peace neither of which could find in the service of the fetish, and as a rest was prepared for the Christian message and has asked for baptism. 2. Moses (Yaw) Badu had been pawned on the death of his father to someone in Enginaseng between Kukurantumi and Asiakwa for 18 dollars to pay the expanses of the funeral custom. Then a man advanced him the debt, and he worked for him afterwards, paying it off little by little. Not long after he had paid off the debt he returned from Accra with a load to be met with a threat of death from the fetish which was bought off only by an offering of 4 dollars. This prepared him for accepting the Christian's teachings - he is now a carpentry apprentice with Kromer. 3. Paul Teaseye. A son of Ampaw by a slave-wife. His uncle is also a slave of Ampaw's, and his linguist. When the uncle could not pay his debts Ampaw allowed him to pawn Ampaw's son for 36 dollars to someone in Osiem. He was very badly treated there so that his uncle had pity on him and paid the debt, and he has been in Kukurantumi for the last two years, quite well handled, but obliged to give all his service to his uncle. To help pay off the town debt incurred during the dispute with Asafo there had been a plan to pawn this man again, and in these circumstances he attached himself to the Christian community and received instruction. (All the above from Kukurantumi - the cases following from Kibi). 4. Wilhelm David (earlier Kwaku Kese) c18-19 years old, had stayed with his brother in Cape Coast for a time while the latter was at school, and though ill there had decided on his return to gain learning himself. Against his father's will he came to the school 18 months before, and Eisenschmid is very positive about his knowledge, conviction of the truth of 'evangelical religion' and inner determination to be a Christian. He is from Sarmang. 5. Joseph (he is from the same place as Kwaku Dako) aged 13-14, and with 3 1/2 years in the boarding part of the school-- not much gifted but with a good grounding at in biblical history and resolution. 6. Noa Asante, a crippled youth with a bone illness. 7. Georg Otemeng, about 23 years old, mother from Asiakwa and father from Kibi. He attached himself to the missionaries from their first arrival, and had often carried loads for them from Accra and worked as a handy-man. They had only baptised him after long and anxious consultations, including conversations with Jakobo and Mose Teko, the latter because they had deliberately set him to work as handy-man alongside Otemeng in order to get some idea of his current conduct, since he had a very bad reputation among the heathen. However, both advised in favour, so he was baptised. 8. Jonathan Asumany, son of an Asante now dead, his mother from Apapam and he were pawned to a Kibi elder called Kwasi Amoake. Now c 20 years old, but known to the missionaries for a long time. He had been in the school till his master forbade it, and his master increased the pressure later in order to prevent him becoming a Christian. The missionaries visited the latter, and asked him not to hinder the conversion of the man - like many Christians he would serve him after baptism, only better. His body would still be the man's property, but his soul had not been sold, he was answerable for that to God for himself. The master then allowed his baptism, and agreed that the man should he free from work on Sundays - though on his baptism he took the case to the king who declared that the man should pay his master 1 sheep satisfaction. Eisenschmid writes that though it would be very desirable from the man's point of view to be freed to establish a precedent known both to slaves and masters he was glad that in this case at this time this has not occurred. 9. Sophia Dede, ex-pupil of the Girls' Boarding School in Aburi, now Christaller's servant. Eisenschmid says about them all that they are still children (he presumably means in the faith) who must be tenderly advised and brought up if they are to be sturdy Christians. He gives no guarantee of their future course.

There is a long clear setting out of the factors by Schrenk which includes an estimate for the Asiakwa population of 1500-2000, and a very pessimistic analysis of the Kukurantumi community.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.10.1873 Proper date: 02.10.1873 Description An account of the resource Travelling from Akropong to Kibi they spent the first night in Panto, the second in Kukurantumi. In the latter a man had died and a priest declared that it was his fetish which was responsible - although the priest had been attending the man in his illness. Ampaw broke up an audience he gave to Eisenschmid when Eisenschmid started talking about Ampaw being converted, and a fetish priest intruded into the conversation. Kibi - the community is more or less the same size, and in the same condition as when he left 4 1/2 years before. 'We saw many old and loved faces again though certainly others are no longer in the Christian community (whom we remember). They have not found what they were looking for, or they were tempted out by the lust to sin. It is hard to get Christians and heathens out of the habit of thinking that a Christian is free in his body - we also have to help him towards a means of earning his living regularly.' Another problem is the Asafos - Eisenschmid has spoken to an Asafohene over this type of opposition, warning him that if it goes on he would report it to the English Government - remarking in parenthesis that he would rather not do this, since the regime would do nothing and thus the situation would be simply exacerbate. This could be the removal of the most serious obstacle to conversions, since the younger people are all more or less convinced of the worthlessness of fetish religion, and to a certain extent too of the truth of Christianity. This is even the case with the king, though one can hope for his conversion, his throne is founded on fetish observances. He is, on the whole, however, well intentioned and friendly toward the missionaries - they were invited to an evening meal with him at the time of Nat. Date's departure. His younger followers, too, if not friendly, are at least not hostile. It is the older leader who are the fanatical opponents of the Christian religion. He reports too that -the Okyenhene has gone to Akropong in response to an invitation from the English Government, to confer over the question of sending an expedition to Asante.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.06.1875 Proper date: 25.06.1875 Description An account of the resource He stresses that he personally has knowledge only of the Akropong area. The emancipation has had effects in only isolated cases in Akwapim - people talk about 50 cases, and even if you double this number this is very few among so many slaves. In the Akropong community the daughter of an ex-slave Irenkyi took the opportunity offered by the proclamation to return to her parents. Several slaves ran away from Larteh recently to the coast - their master had an arrangement with the Tutu people to bring them back. The Tutu people found them in Aburi as Brother Widman's hammock-carriers and treated them very severely. The case came before the Akropong court, and the evildoers were fined a total of 240 dollars, partly as damages to those who were mishandled, partly as punishment money payable to the Akropong chief for breaking the new law. This not to say that the Akropong chief is for the proclamation. The effects have been much more striking in Akim, and this is understandable in terms of the much more oppressed situation of the slaves in that area. On May 28th Brother Mohr wrote that the King and his family had run away from Kibi, out of shame because many of his slaves had simply refused to serve him any longer and had claimed their freedom. He could have saved himself through public reading of the Proclamation and the promise of good treatment to his people, but instead he would not humble himself to this extent, and claimed that he could force people to remain in their traditional state. At this they ran away in dozens. The king left Kibi too, but was eventually brought back by the friendly encouragement of his elders. The slaves seek freedom under English protection on the coast, while the younger boys have done into the school. Eisenschmid goes on to explain how, as far as missionary work was concerned, everything in Akim was under the thumb of the chiefs and elders though he adds nevertheless that the school work was blessed to the extent that that very day the first Akim Catechist was being consecrated. He also repeats the event at which the elders instructed the missionaries never to accept converts without the master's permission, the withholding of the latter being final. The Akim masters are realising that if they want to keep their slaves, they must treat them humanely. Wages have not gone up as a result -- in fact except for those paid to craftsmen wages have returned to their pre-war level. This was not difficult to achieve in view of the number of Crepes looking for employment. Nor has the crime-rate increased - nor has a bread-less proletariat come into existence. The question of land for the slaves is the most important. At the moment an emancipated slave must go to the coast for British protection, unless he can find place with the mission. Leaving for the coast is not easy, obviously, and if it occurred on any scale it would lead to further depopulation of the inland areas. Thus without some arrangement concerning land the nerve of the emancipation is cut and it is prevented from coming to its proper development. On the other hand it is difficult to see how land could be provided - even remote and isolated places have their owners - should these be compensated by the Government? Or should the slaves simply be encouraged to settle? He does not seem to recognise the possibility suggested by Dieterle of a mixed situation in which the ex-slave was both free and attached to the landlord in some traditional way.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.03.1878 Proper date: 05.03.1878 Description An account of the resource Teacher Adu at Begoro is from Kukurantumi, a small but busy man, of the best students of his year. He has just married a very simply Christian girl from his home town, and seems happy and at peace. (He seems too on good terms with Eisenschmid). The marriage was carried out in the most modest way in order to ensure that he did not start his married life in debt. He remarks over school attendance etc. that the numbers are not as large as they were led to expect when the station was being opened. The figure seems to fluctuate down to 6 attendances - 23 are on the roll, and when he held an examination there were only 13 present. He remarks that the reason for this is superstition connected with the typhus epidemic, and comments that the death of one member of the congregation, plus the death of a maidservant of Mohr's late in the previous year had strengthened the base of the fetish priests. Nevertheless, considering the circumstances, one can be satisfied with the educational progress of the group who were examined. Teacher Dako is of the same class as Adu in Kukurantumi, and although his theoretical grasp is not brilliant, he takes pains to bring everything up to standard, and that is something to be treasured in him. He has a bride in Kibi, and Eisenschmid will be happier when he has brought her to Abetifi. The regular scholars number only 10 at the moment, but Eisenschmid hopes that with the establishment of a boarding school more will be attracted. KIbi Boarding School - Date has brough order and cleanliness into it. When he was having trouble getting the teachers to start lessons on time he would himself go in and start the lesson. Although there is a lot of movement out - of the 52 pupils classes II, III, IV number only 19. The school gets a very moderate report for ist scholarly achievements, with arithmetic particularly weak. In Kukurantumi the people cannot understand why their scholars do not receive financial support from the mission as those in Kibi do - at Christmas they had themselves banded together to give their scholars presents.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.01.1869 Proper date: 29.01.1869 Description An account of the resource According to Eisenschmid the earlier proceedings had left Ampaw of Kukurantumi in undisputed possession of the land, though with a heavy fine to pay on account of his representatives misuse of the Okyenhene’s oath. However, following the death of King Atta, the Maase and Asafo people became restive about the judgement, and the Maase chief went to Akwapim, and sold large stretches of the land to the Akwapims for low prices. On the 11th January this situation was considered formally in Kibi - fetish being drunk by both parties and the judges that the former would abide by the decision and the latter would judge fairly and impartially. On January 12th Ampaw put his case - and the other party simply left the court, Eisenschmid presumes because they could see they were hopelessly in the wrong. The missionaries tried to act as mediators, without success. One result of the situation is that the Kukurantumi school is at collapsing point. The children which Ampaw had put into it at the end of the previous year no longer attend - when Eisenschmid taxed him with this he replied with the proverb “No-one speaks someone else's word until he has spoken his own”.
