The plantation was simply a mass of work needing to be done. In the intervals of fever he was involved in furniture making, using as a bench a stump left after some of Süss’ tree felling. He had trouble getting the tools which Süss had used fit for use again, since they had so rusted. He comments that one of the things which made Gyadam so unhealthy for the missionaries was the fact that their local employees wanted to work so little, and so work devolved onto the missionaries. He was living in Gyadam in a house with no door or windows, an old piece of wax-cloth has to serve. He reports youths coming out of Gyadam to attend evening prayers, and help with the building of the house and the chapel. He also reports that when he was being carried back to Akropong alone and very sick (by carriers who had been sent out by the Akropong station), the carriers wanted to take him by a route not usually followed, but shorter, which passed through Asante territory.

Teacher Ewyi is a Kukurantumi man, and though he has many good qualities is too timid about getting into conflict with Kukurantumi families to exercise proper discipline in the school. Kromer depicts his task on first settling in Kukurantumi as reuniting the members of the community and also says that this aspect of his work displeased the heathens. There were instances of outright persecution, and the chief showed an inclination to get the mission out of the town. There was on one occasion soon after Kromer's arrival a fight which people were regarding as being between Christian and heathen, though the occasion for it was an elder's decision to fight rather than have the Kukurantumi chief seize a slave from his house who had run there for refuge. One of the sons of the elder was a Christian, and he had responded to the call as soon as it was made.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.04.1870 Proper date: 30.04.1870 Description An account of the resource Reports that reconciliation with the Okyenhene was bound up with Asante’s mission in Begoro. When Asante eventually made contact with the Kwahu man who was to take the message to Kumasi the Okyenhene heard of it and required the man to be arrested and brought to Kibi. Asante asked the Kibi missionaries to intervene to prevent this, and the Okyenhene agreed on condition that they took full responsibility in the event that the British Government regarded this as a breach of their instructions that Akim should break of all relations with any Asante state. On a recent visit to Kukurantumi the people had not even bothered to gather for street preaching. Meanwhile in Asiakwa the people want to know if they are ever going to get a teacher. Attached to this reports as Postscripts are comments by Widmann dated 15 June 1870 and Mader dated 29 Jun 1870. Widman argues that Kukurantumi’s only importance is its geographical position – the meeting points of roads to the coast from Begoro, Kwahu, Kibi, and Asiakwa. It was only settled in the difficult situation following the destruction of Gyadam – and the settlement of Gyadam in turn would not have occurred had the missionaries gone about establishing the Akim mission in the proper way. Asiakwa would be the better place for an outstation. Mader remarks that Begoro would be the place for a second station staffed by missionaries. It has a good climate, it is one day's journey from Kwahu, and could therefore be the fore-post of-the Asante Mission. It is also possibly the most populous town in Akim. Asiakwa could hardly be the station for more missionaries, it is too close to Kibi. With reference to other Akim places visited in the quarter Kromer remarks that Pano is a fanatical fetish town.

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.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 15.04.1869 Proper date: 15.04.1869 Description An account of the resource One feature of the station is that the paths have a European width about them. And one of the distinguishing features of the youths on the station is that they appear to care about the future - which is not a characteristic of their comrades in the heathen town. Boys in the school who are not gifted enough, or too old, or simply do not want to go to the Middle school in Akropong are learning a trade - 3 are learning carpentry, and one has waited a long time for a lockmaker to come to Osato whom he can be apprenticed. Samuel Amoa has learned to become self-supporting in carpentry, and has recently celebrated his independence by entering into a Christian marriage. Economically the mission has had an appreciable impact on the Akim people as a whole - the mango is now to be found growing in many places, and every big village has some coffee which they take to Cape Coast to sell. Amoa’s wife was a daughter of Ampao of Kukurantumi. She had lived and worked in the households of Kromer, and later Eisenschmid. She was baptised 'Maria' at Christmas. Kromer reports on the case of Opuni (see the Annual Report). He had been entrusted with slaves and money by his father - head of a rich family in Asante - to make purchases on 'the Akim frontier' (here and in the Annual Report he is described as a youth. He had heard from his grandmother that she had been stolen from Akim during an Asante invasion, and that some of her relatives were still alive in Akim. He had resolved to try to visit this family, and when he had made the 'usual' purchases, loaded the slaves, and given the remaining money to the elder slave, he set out on this mission. In the next town he was recognised as an Asante, arrested, sent to the Okyenhenes who then had him sold, and in this way he came into the hands of his grandmother's family as a slave. The family treated him well, however, and were prepared to send him on expeditions not only to Accra, but also to the Asante boarder. He could have run away there with no difficulty (he in fact actually met a brother who urged him to do this), but he did not, and Kromer ascribes this to his interest in the Christian religion. He is now both a trustworthy, slave and a baptismal candidate with a real desire to learn.

It includes another instance of the title European being applied to Africans in European clothes – this time an Accra man working on the Gyadam station was called a European by some soldiers and regarded as a result as no enemy. Kromer seems to have had the last interview with Agyeman after Strömberg had left for Akropong - He criticised him severely for filling the hostages. Agyaman asked the Missionaries to follow him to Swedru. In the second battle Kromer gives the size of the forces as 800 under Agyeman, 2000 under Atta, and the total killed both sides as 300-400. He reports that after the Gyadamers fled an armed Kwahu force came - the Osino men investigated what was afoot and the Kwahus said they were playing. In the loot of property from Gyadam Kromer says in fact most of it arrived in Kukurantumi for the founding of the new outstation.

He had stayed away from school for a short while, and on his return it transpired that he had been at his home (Dadeantem) where he had been involved in a severe quarrel with a man and had sworn an oath on his mother in order to gain credence for his evidence when he had been before the elders. He was not put under discipline on his return, but soon disappeared again. The two missionaries visited Dadeantem soon after and found that the people there had just carried the corpse of a dead man, and the family of the woman on whose house the corpse had bumped took the initiative in keeping the missionaries out of the village, so that they had to preach to a very small group on its outskirts. They learned, however, that the woman who was now regarded as a witch was Mose Efoa's mother, end that probably that oath was the thing which had enabled the elders to begin to rob the woman (who was wealthy) of all property and honour. Efoa had no intention of returning to the mission circle this time. Street preaching in Kibi is described as regularly attended by strangers who are continually there, also by Kibi people, the elder Asare Kansari being especially in evidence. The women, though still not taking part in street preaching, are attaching themselves to the girls who live with the mission households. 23 Asantes are in the block in Kibi.

Akim had been urged to join the alliance against Asante by messengers from the native king of Accra, and the ‘Fante Confederation’. The request from these ambassadors was that the Akims should do something to cut off the Asante forces in Crepe - part of the Asante route to Crepe was across Akim territory. The Akim response to this, after a war-council in Kibi, was to cut off trade with Asante which up till then had still been carried on. Within 4 days 36 prisoners had been brought in - merchants captured as they tried to carry on their trade. Later (9th August) a letter from Mader advising Kromer to move his family to Accra had arrived simultaneously with the shin-bone of the Asante captured in the Akropong plantations. The Bomoso incident was one in which three Bomosu men in an advanced position keeping an eye on the merchant's road to Asante had been attacked, and two killed. There has been yet another case of adultery in Kukurantumi. There is now only one member of the congregation - a man called Jakob - who has not been guilty of this sin.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: October 1870 Proper date: October 1870 Description An account of the resource Writes of the many palavers between the missionaries and the Okyenhene and the people of Kibi concerning Asante's stay in Begoro. These interrupted his activities in repairing the mission buildings. The report also involves some discussion of Mohammedan influences, sources not quoted, presumably Mohammedans with whom Kromer had spoken. There is a town Yenni 10 days North-East of Kumasi whose inhabitants outnumber the combined population of Akims and Akwapims. It is a Mohammedan town, and for a long distance around it no other people live. About 50 years before, the Asantes, with their guns, had conquered the town, and made it liable to pay tribute - 1000 dollars and 500 slaves. It is as a result of this that Mohammedans are to be found in Asante and to the south. They are welcomed because of their reputation as providers of strong medicine, and they can earn a living in these terms. Kromer classifies such people into two groups - those who effectively prosper by fetish - the provision of amulets. These are usually illiterate, and cannot read Arabic. The others are well educated and literate in Arabic. People of the first type once came to Gyadam, people of the second type were currently in Kibi. The present group in Kibi had been in Fante for 5 years, and had got themselves a great reputation (Kromer comments that they were able to cross frontiers even at time of war, and thus had gone to Fante when they did). They sent to Kibi with the news that they could turn earth to gold, were invited to visit the Okyenhene and were received in a magnificent procession with guns firing etc. Their present to the Okyenhene was a fine embroidered robe. They have not clashed with the Christians, though they have entry everywhere In Kibi, including with the Okyenhene who has made the Chief Mohammedan one of his advisors with a seat on the council. There is a short subscript by Mader dated 19 October 1870 who remarks that there are Mohammedans settled in British Accra, who have their own sort of school, and visit Akwapim singly.
