Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.03.1866 Proper date: 28.03.1866 Description An account of the resource Continues with the history of the Asafo-Kukurantumi land case. On 12th October 1865 the Kibi Christians woke the missionaries before dawn to appeal to them to intervene, because there was going to be a battle between Kukurantumi on the one side, and Asafo, Asiakwa and a few other places on the other. Christaller tells it the missionaries did indeed take the initiative, asking the Okyenhene to call his elders, advising him to act energetically (representatives were to be sent to both sides to swear the Okyenhene’s oath on them not to fight). Christaller then travelled to Asiakwa and Palmer to Kukurantumi, and while Duedu in Asiakwa set to work to hold back his people, Palmer found the Kukurantumi people about to join up with the Nnyinasin people and checked them till the Okyenhene's emissary arrived (Christaller adds in parenthesis that as an Akwapim the Kukurantumi people dared not do anything to injure him). 17th October Kromer wrote to the Kibi missionaries that the Kukurantumi people were grateful for their intervention. On the same day Eisenschmid went to Kukurantumi via Asafo with the part intention of acting as a mediator if possible. Since then the Okyenhene has done what he should have done all along - paid the Asafo people the sum they last asked for; then got it replaced by Ampaw. Since however the latter’s debts are laid on his people he has recently laid 29 1/2 dollars debt on the Christians. He reports the story of the Abomosu woman clubbed to death after being found guilty of killing by witchcraft, and Akuamma the King's slave who was found hanged in the forest. He reported on both in English, to the Gold Coast Prases, so that the government could be informed of the occurrences, including in the report the incidents surrounding Jonathan Asumen (see Eisenschmid’s report No. 3 above). On the Akuamma incident he repeats the point made by Eisenschmid that there was good ground for suggesting that it was no suicide - the cloth by which she was hanged was tied in a way a suicide could not possibly have done. He also remarks that such 'suicides' are not uncommon, even among the king's wives. In this case Akuamma had herself been convinced of her guilt. Christaller comments that any death occurring between childhood and the attaining of full years is suspected by the people to be unnatural. He adds that he did not report all this to Accra because he feels they should be active as informants on the doings of the Kibi government, but simply to help to create a situation where it was felt a resident should be placed in Kibi. He cites as parallels the Residents placed at the court of the independent native rulers in India, and the system on the Gold Coast at the time when Freeman was Civil Commandant in Accra, and when mulattos were stationed in some of the important provincial capitals . L. Hesse in Kibi, N. Holm in Akropong, and F. Briandt in Krobo.

He had bought this particular eight-year old girl because she was a six-fingered child and when the Abompe people had brought her to Kibi, no-one else had wanted to buy her.

Philip Kwabi is totally reliable, and a great help in this kind of problem. Over the incident with the Akropong workers and the attempt to panyarry them, Klaus cites as an example of God's protection the fact that when they eventually decided to leave secretly they were stupid enough to allow this fact to become known one of them even taking public leave of a friend. They still managed to get away safely.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.03.1865 Proper date: 28.03.1865 Description An account of the resource Before moving to the temporary quarters they had built on the new station, they were living in a house belonging to one Briandt. He has 40-60 workers involved with land-clearing and building: they are paid daily rates, and every Saturday afternoon is taken up with arguments about pay. He himself preaches only on Sundays - people come and listen, but afterwards appears to have a very slight idea indeed of what has been said. Although they often get goods back when they have been stolen (because of lack of caution on the part of the thieves), thieves are never punished: the town authorities think it is satisfactory that the missionaries have their property back. A recent case has been concerned with their own servants - the washerman and the cook took a bale of cotton out of the store at night (they also sleep in the same room). They were caught and bound: but Fetzer spent a whole afternoon trying to persuade the chief annd elders that they should have 50 strokes of the cane on their behinds: but was unable to get his way. He adds to the story of the panyarrying that the Akropong people were in Anum as the Missions sawyers and shinglemakers: and that the place where they usually worked was very close to Dzake. The Dzake catechumen had given the missionaries presents, in order to become their friends.

The two missionaries now explain that the protocol had been written by Rottmann, they had both had fever at the time, and hence had allowed the thing to pass straight through.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.09.1865 Proper date: 01.09.1865 Description An account of the resource Basel has written that a budget of £18 per person in Anum for carriage costs is too high. They, on the other hand, plead that it is too low: that each load costs 4 heads of cowries, and that many loads are also lost or stolen on the way. J. Müller, in a subscript, gives the following rates for loads carried inland from Osu (where it appears most loads for Anum originate, and most are paid): Kyebi budget — £15 p.a. (costing 3 heads cowries per load) Odumase - £9 p.a. (at 1.6 loads of cowries per head) Confirming Anum loads cost 4 heads of cowries. The letter is also about relations with the Handelsgesellschaft: Basel thinks much provisioning for the missionaries is carried in loads charged to the trading account, but Müller and the Anum missionaries both deny this categorically, Müller saying that the Handelsgesellschaft people are very particular not to do this. it was difficult to procure foodstuffs in Anum, and when they were available for sale, it was at a very high price.

About 50 men are working on the building site, but the bulk of these are from Accra. He analyses the difficulty of getting a regular wage labour force in Anum. The Anums do not like work — they would sooner pay a debt by pawning a child as work to earn money to cover it. They are, in fact, rather idle. You see this in their food supplies - their own food only lasts for half the time between harvests, then they have to buy food from the Pekyis. The bulk of this labour force are working as carpenters and masons. They are Danish-trained, but he still needs to exercise constant supervision. Beams and planks are having to be brought from as far away as two hours. They have had a period when both were totally confined to bed.

Next day they called on the Akwamuhene, taking the customary gift. They were given a very friendly welcome. They asked for the Akwamuhene's protection on their journey, and were told this was assured if they paid the customary duties. They replied that as servants of the God of heaven, earth, the sea and rivers - to whom the Volta belonged - nothing should he demanded from them, though they would not disobey his law. They found these statements hard to accept. But they were given a friendly farewell, and invited to call on him again on the downstream journey. It was on the third day that they came to the 'landing place for Anum'. Both the existing missionaries were suffering from recurrent bouts of fever, with Brother Kraus looking very yellow. He himself suffered his first attack of fever after one week, a second after another week which laid him out for several days. In the existing small houses it is difficult to protect oneself from cold in the night. Describes the Anum people as 'self—sufficient and complacent' - 'they must have 50 fetish priests in the town'. The missionaries however offer 'freedom and salvation in the blood of Christ'. Kwabi is working hard with him on the Twi language, paying especial attention to the question of tone.

Health - Klaus is very sick indeed, and believed he was dying at the end of December. Fetzer and Müller himself have only small attacks of fever. Kwabi lives in a small building which is at the same time the school room, and the sleeping room of the pupils. He takes trouble with his work, which is holding services in the town, teaching in the school, and teaching Müller Twi. He also keeps the missionaries informed about the fetish opposition to them in the town. Of the 7 school pupils, 4 can read - the others have either recently started, or are little gifted. The pupils find it hard to learn anything by heart, but the missionaries want to keep on until at least they know a few proverbs, and the catechism. The fetish priests forbid children to go to the school hence the small numbers. Street preaching is carried on regularly to fluctuating numbers. Few have shown much interest — one young man was in debt to his uncle, who had to be brought round to allowing him to attend services. There are two or three people who would like to be baptised, but they have received no instruction from Müller himself, since there are difficulties in using English.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.01.1867 Proper date: 08.01.1867 Description An account of the resource In the course of the year Jonas Ako had come to Kibi as a teacher. The number of members of the community was 8 (25 in the previous year) with 13 communicants and 6 catechumens. There are 19 boys in the school (only 2 heathen) and 5 girls (all heathen). At Kukurantumi the catechist was in early 1867 Phillip Kwabi. The number of members of the community had risen from 12 to 15, with 7 communicants and 2 catechumens. There were 3 boys and 3 girls in the school. The school coffee plantation as large as it can be kept clean now, yielded its first fruit, and encouraged other Christians and heathen to lay out small plantations for themselves. After his wife's death Christaller left for Akropong, and the Kromers left for Europe in the new year 1867. Although not much travelling had been done, one or another of the missionaries had visited at least once in the following towns and villages - Asafo, Aaiakwa, Sadyumase, Tete, Apedwa, Dadantam, Apapam, Pano. Tete and Pano had been visited 6 times each. Catechist Asante from Kibi has been travelling regularly through the villages around Kibi. 3 of their local staff, Asante, Kwabi and Ako were especially satisfactory, Eisenschmid’s writing in very warm terms about Asante's assistance. Ewyi had been dismissed, but was showing real signs of penitence, and attending services more often than before if anything. Palmer had also caused difficulties, and was currently under investigation. The movements of numbers in the communities - in Kibi there were 6 baptisms, one of a child of Asante's, the other 5 school boys (Dan. Adukwabena, Nathaniel Amakya, Timotheo Antwi, David Apeakese, Wilhelm Apeawia), though these numbers were balanced by the losses caused by the removal of Jon. Palmer and Christaller. Three people moved onto the station, besides Ako, Alexander Dato from Akropong and Immanuel Adern from Kukurantumi. In Kukurantumi, besides Andreas Ewyi, Jonas Pabi was excluded; this loss was balanced by the coming of Kwabi and the baptism of 3 children. One of the latter was a child, who his mother having died bearing him, the heathen regarded as a cursed child and would have killed him had it not been for Kromer's adopting him. Picturing the life of the community Eisenschmid reports regular attendance at Sunday and daily services, and an excellent relationship with the missionary (presumably himself) especially among the younger members. The latter often gather at his house in the evenings in order to sing, hear him tell stories, play games, pray. He cannot see much zeal for mission work among the people themselves, however. In Kibi they have had to take no serious action against misconduct, but in Kukurantumi, besides the two excluded, two other men had to be excluded from Holy Communion for a short while for marrying heathen wives, against the order of the community (Mose Badu and Samuel Otemeng). Another (Josua Abisaw) was found guilty of theft. 2 Christians were bought free from slavery after the money to do so had been lent by the missionaries – Paul Teaseye from Kukurantumi and Jonathan Asumang from Kibi. They have a harmonium in the chapel in Kibi (given by a Dr Hauschildt), and have been preaching mostly on Sundays from the second year's syllabus in the Sunday gospel. There is pressure to be taken on as house-servants with time to go to school by both boys and girls in Kibi. The 7 new boys in the School are listed by Eisenschmid: Yaw Koi from Boadua came quite off his own bat asking for admittance into the Boarding School. 13-15 years old, already attending baptismal instruction. Abosompem, the son of an elderly catechumen who after much delay - during which the missionaries warned him against idleness - was eventually allowed by his uncle to attend school. Immanuel Adern, already having done several year's schooling in Kukurantumi. Stephan Saki ex-servant of Christallers (his fellow ex-Christaller servant became a carpenter's apprentice with Eisenschmid). Alexander Doto, an Akim boy who came back after schooling and baptism in Akropong. A young man from Asiakwa who came asking to be baptised and allowed into the school and persisted with the latter. Konamoa from Apapem (Eisenschmid is clearly rather impressed with the character of the latter). In Kukurantumi all the scholars were house servants of Kromer. Christmas was a major celebration, with the Okyenhene visiting them, and many other heathen.
