Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.12.1858 Proper date: 03.12.1858 Description An account of the resource Comments that it is nearly time for the Christian community to migrate out of Gyadam to the environs of the mission station – that this will be good for them, since they have suffered a fair amount of teasing in the town. Also if they are going to the Christians they will have to be working people. He seems to be getting particularly loyal help from 4 15-17 year olds, who are learning to be sawyers (2), to learning to use a plane, learning to cook and bake (1). They find that training- people is a hard job, but it would be of great importance if boys from Asante, or anywhere else, could come under such training. They are also learning a little reading and writing.

A fetish procession came down the street, but made a detour around side streets to avoid the circle listening to Süss – Kromer offers this as an example of the impression Süss’s preaching is coming to have.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.03.1859 Proper date: 01.03.1859 Description An account of the resource Discussing the political situation in the Area Süss suggests that on the while it would be true to say that the subjects of Kotoku in the Gyadam area (the Northern division of the state) have broken away from the rule of Kibi - though he also repeats the material about the tribe having come from the inner parts of Ashanti about 30 years ago. He repeats too that Agyeman is troubled about the distance separating the two parts of his kingdom and remembers the day when all men under arms lived less than one day’s march from his capital. Süss says of the 1857 incident between the two kingdoms that the people were one day’s march into Abuakwa over some dispute, and the day was only saved from war by one of the Abuakwa princes swearing an oath to get the dispute cleared up within 10 days. Station personnel include two catechists, Adolph Burckhardt, and Christian Asante. Süss and Haas (newly arrived from Akropong) both have wives on the station. Currently there are 12 catechumens, mostly from Gyadam; of the four baptised earlier one is now in Christiansborg, two live on the mission station, and one, the Gyadamer baptised Asemode is living in the town - he is a rather weak-willed person and does not get much peace. The two catechists are to take up work one on the station as schoolteacher, the other in the town (duties unspecified).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.05.1859 Proper date: 02.05.1859 Description An account of the resource Information on costs of building and transport. £130 had been set aside by the Basel Committee for the building of the new station. So far 226 Thaler have been spent on the stock-houses and Brethren Süss’s house. That leaves 350 Thaler. In fact a total of 685 Thaler is still needed (There is an exchange rate of 4.4 Thaler to £1 used here - this could be checked twice over by the rather fuller figures in the Conference Protocoll). For porto £50 has been approved and £34 has been already spent. £37 more will be needed under this head, and the committee are asked to remember .that a load costs 2/3 more to get to Gyadam than to Akropong (It appears that they are accounting January-December).

Furthermore they had made a wall 30’ deep and 5’ in diameter not 5 minutes from the old station.

At a conference on 11 May Süss had been left free from most station duties to carry on preaching, but he had been preaching only weekly in Gyadam and the first “Reisepredigt” on which he had embarked was to Moseaso on 14 June. He is also said to have been involved in a clash with the Asafohene of Gyadam, one Kwabena Ba, who is described as an old man with silver hair.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.08.1859 Proper date: 29.08.1859 Description An account of the resource Reports a surprise visit to Gyadam by Mader and about 20 pupils from the Catechists' Institute. They arrived at a time when the king of Gyadam was at odds with the king of Akropong through the latter’s protection of 2 of Agyeman’s subjects who had fled to Mampong Akwapim after being heavily punished for rebellion. In Mampong they had been causing difficulties for Gyadam people journeying through that area to Accra. A command from the colonial government for them to be send down to Commandant Freeman for judgment had been refused by the king of Akropong. There was a real possibility of war. The Mission was told to take Catechist Asante out of the town since he was from Akwapim, and when the missionaries tried to tell him (a) that he was safe with them because they did not mix in political matters and (b) that he should wait for the arbitration of the colonial government he impatiently and rudely closed the discussion. 9 people were baptised during Mader’s visit: (i) Kwagyeman, approximately 65 years old, baptised Jakobo. (ii) Kobin, approximately 30 years old, chose Daniel as his name. NB (i) and (ii) are described both from further inland. (ii) appears to have been working for the Mission since he is described as having suffered a serious accident while working as a sawyer. (iii) Kwasia, a Fante, once Haas’ cook, takes the baptismal name Edward, he is already literate. (iv) Kofi Set, now Johannes Seth, from Akropong, has worked as cook for Mohr, Christaller, Widmann in the past, and is now Haas' cook. (v) Kwame Nkrumah, son of the chief fetish priest of Gyadam, now a boy in Kromer’s house, new called Petro. (vi) Enimasko from Gyadam, 16 years old, had served a long time in Süss’s household, now called Joshua. (vii) Anapa from Gyadam, 16 years old, once in Süss’s household, crippled for some time now in his right thigh, now called Josef. (viii) Buabenn, 15 years old from Gyadam, carpentry apprentice, now called Johannes. (ix) Asong, a girl of 18 years old working in Haas’s house. She had been with one of the Kibi princes, who was in the Institute in Akropong, had failed from grace, but since had behaved well. New name Christiana Augustina Helena. There is more information about the actual process by which Süss purchased the hill on which they are now building. The cost was 6 ounces gold-dust, of which 5 has already been paid. But the people of Gyadam were to be permitted to continue to use the land for three years. Since the agreement there has been continual trouble with the king and people about the agreement. There seems to be considerable confusion at the time he wrote - Süss had gone off with all the documentary evidence of the purchase and payment and while the English government had sent an agent (Abraham Hesse) with 5 soldiers on being informed by Haas of threats to the mission property he could do little to help them Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.10.VII..19 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.10 - Ghana 1859: D-01.10.VII. - Gyadam Title A name given to the resource Haas to Basel Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

When Süss left Gyadam he took all the masons and carpenters with him, apparently on the grounds that they were indebted to him personally. Severe financial difficulties were avoided by the station’s taking an advance from Hesse, who is also poll-tax collector for the area. One of the baptised individuals (Kobinn), has twice been guilty of theft in recent weeks. They have altogether 17 children on the station for training in the household.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.12.1859 Proper date: 01.12.1859 Description An account of the resource Reports that evangelistic conversations usually end up with the comment that if the missionaries would give them money, they would become Christians. Another Christian has had to be excluded, this time for trading in rum, but there seems every prospect that he will be reaccepted in due course. At a recent celebration of the Lord’s supper there were 6 communicants in addition to the three missionaries. He now gives a figure of 7 girls and 6 boys on the station for education. It appears that the elders and the king have been sending their children to school spasmodically, but withdrawing children from school is one of the sanctions threatened and used by the king in quarrels about use and ownership of the mission hill.
