Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 07.02.1865 Proper date: 07.02.1865 Description An account of the resource Kromer has had a wife on the station since early in the year - she was seriously ill at first, but otherwise they have been in good health with fevers, but not seriously. Concerning Catechist Asante Eisenschmid writes that ‘he has experienced the power of Christ in his heart' - while Burckhardt does not really seek God. Eisenschmid’s picture of their impact is gloomy - the response is if anything less – ‘deep thinking is not the concern of the local people, they are too much embedded in their beliefs about fetishes and consider that with a few eggs or a hen everything can be settled to their advantage'. The Okyenhene is further sunk in drunkenness, and holds himself more distant than he did before - indeed be has tried to interfere in a savage way, though these have been mitigated by the elders who were usually on the side of the mission, like to have them living in Kibi, and made up damages or appealed the missionaries to forget what had happened. Life in Kibi is constant lies and deceit and quarrels and brawls. The annual festival was held on Christmas Day, and passed off reasonably on that day, but the next day Kibi people quarrelled with the people of two other villages and they had many wounded to attend to in the evening. They have preached regularly in Kibi and the surrounding villages, visited Kukurantumi many times, Asinkwa a few times, and Begoro at least once. Outside Kibi the doors are open. A particularly heavy rainy season has made travelling very difficult for much of the year. The Kibi community stands at 39 - they have baptised 11 during the course of the year, about half from the school, 2 were children, of the rest 7 were from Akim, 1 from Accra, and one an Akropong servant-girl of Kromer's. Several people moved away from Kibi, especially those who had been involved in the building, including an elder called Abraham, an Accra carpenter. Though the Christians have not been perfect (avarice is mentioned especially as a problem), obviously Eisenschmid is fairly at peace with them. Most have a spiritual life, and their child-like contributions at the weekly prayer meeting please the missionaries. Kukurantumi is in a state of crisis - little further is said other than that the Chriatian youths of Kukurantumi want to come to Kibi There is a project for Kromer to move when Christaller comes to Kibi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 27.12.1864 Proper date: 27.12.1864 Description An account of the resource Kukurantumi school had to be closed when Burckhardt was brought to Kibi to be given special supervision. He had been trying to teach with heavy punishments what he hardly knew himself, being little gifted, and having lost much of the knowledge with which he had left the Seminary. This has had a favourable result for the Kibi school which was increased by 6 pupils to 20. The Kibi school marches out now in shirt and trousers made by Frau Kromer. He continues to give the Kibi school a good report, in this subject they are in no way behind an elementary school in Europe. They have troubles with arithmetic however, with the pupils attending regularly and having a real desire to learn, and Chr. Asante getting an excellent report as a man who loves his pupils, works to increase his knowledge and has an inner consistency about him. Biblical knowledge is taken up with great enthusiasm by the boys; and singing - often when heathen singing is to be heard in Kibi at night, the boys can be heard singing the hymns they know. 500 coffee trees have been put into the plantation.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 04.02.1865 Proper date: 04.02.1865 Description An account of the resource He reckons to have seen a much greater interest in the content of their teaching evidencing: A visit to Asiakwa where the grey-haired elders asked questions about the meaning of points in his preaching - and the younger elders professed to be largely in agreement (though this was all in connection with their continued pressure for a teacher). The chief of the three Apedua villages has asked for a teacher (though Kromer talks about the people and their loyalty to the fetishes in a way which does not suggest much general pressure there). In the small hamlets they are often now visited by individuals who either want to ask them questions about their religious belief or express their agreement with and liking for sermons which they have heard. In commenting on Kukurantumi Kromer writes that the chief and people have returned to their service of the fetishes, though with no great enthusiasm.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.04.1864 Proper date: 29.04.1864 Description An account of the resource Kromer reports that the chiefs of Begoro, Asiakwa and Kukurantumi have visited them more than once. The Asiakwa chief named Diedu is not loved by the Okyenhene whom he often openly accuses. His town and the villages under it are more open to the mission than others. Diedu is far above Atta in his knowledge. He is working with only 2 carpenters, 5 sawyers and 2 masons, because most of the foreign workmen are still on the coast waiting to see the outcome of the British expedition of 1400 European soldiers and 1000 locals against Asante. They are at present stationary because of the rain, with one camp of huts built in Swedru. In Kukurantumi the mission stood in bad enough odour at one stage for a new path to be cut to enable people to go to Akropong without passing by the mission station. This has now changed and two new boys have been handed over to the catechist for teaching.

He has met two of them - Asiakwa 'who has an ear for the truth', and Kukurantumi (well-disposed but not very energetic) who was in Kibi sometime in February and March concerned with a case concerning land which belonged to him but which people from Asafo had sold to an Akwapim man.

But he does not specifically tie this information to the Asafo-Kukurantumi case mentioned in Chr.'s letter No. 9 above, People in Tafo are currently more receptive than those in Kukurantumi, especially when Andreas Ewyi takes part in the street preaching.

There is also information on Jonathan Palmer's slaves. One was a c.40 year old woman from Kurosi 'in Donko’, for whom he had paid 46 dollars in 1856. Another was an Awuna boy, Asem Nyame, about 18 years old, for whom he had paid 45 dollars in August 1859. The last was Nyame ye Adom from Crepe, bought in eraly 1864 for 47 dollars (the transfer had not been effective because the woman, about 50 years old, was ill). These were freed on 1st January, (though it seems that they are expected to go on working either for Palmer for a very small wage, or for one or other of the missionaries).
