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).

Chr. Asante is the catechist at Kibi, Kromer is assisted by teacher Andreas Ewyi. At Kibi Jonathan Palmer is Christaller's language informant. At Kibi the community numbers 25 (20 in previous year) with 16 communicants and 5 catechumens. The school numbers 14, with 8 boarders. In Kukurantumi the numbers in the community have dropped from 13 to 12, with 7 communicants and 3 catechumens. There are 13 boys in the school, 4 of whom are boarders. Apart from the schoolboys coffee plantations (now at c900 trees) there is no farming on any scale on mission land - only gardens. In the course of the year they preached in Adadeentam, Apapam, Asiakwa, Sekyedumase, Tete, Tafo, Ati and Pano. Chr. Asante was a younger brother of the Akropong chief Boafo who died in August of the year. Adolph Burkhardt resigned from the mission. The Kibi baptisms were made up of 3 youths, 2 boys, 1 older girl (an Akwapim servant of Christallers's.). The elder who went back to Osu was called Abr. Atitshogbe. There was one exclusion. The adult non-communicants (of whom there were several) had not been brought forward to baptism on account of long absences from the station. Vis-a-vis the heathen little progress - they can be convinced of the illusoriness of their fetishes and admit that the truth is all on the side of the mission, but that still does not bring them to break with the thousand-year chains of heathens. One problem is that property and status is measured in slaves, though the status of the latter is not too oppressive - many of them have little if not nothing to do for their masters.

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: 30.09.1865 Proper date: 30.09.1865 Description An account of the resource His account of the Kukurantumi troubles (he was called there by Kromer in late August) is that there was a meeting of the people inter al. about the passage of the laws which the heathen party resolved on after the fight (mentioned in No. 33 and 21) in order to deter people from becoming Christian. At this the Kukurantumi chief took the side of the Christians to the extent that he refused to force the Christians to drink fetish. He reports that reading and discussing the contents of “Bilder aus der Missionswelt” (except that the subjects were the King of Dahomey's Amazons, the capture of slaves, the wild country of New Zealand) he was surrounded by a large crowd of people, predominantly young men. The second part of the report is mostly concerned with the land case between Asiakwa (involved through its villages Asafo and Nmease) and Kukurantumi. Christaller's material being based on a transcript of evidence provided for him by Jonathan Palmer (his language informant). The primary material seems to be based on attendance of a meeting in late July - it is said to have been first written down on 31st July. An Asafo representative, Afirim, said that their lord was Duodu of Asiakwa. Someone in Asafo had a case with Duodu because his brother, a Fante, had committed a crime and was executed - or someone had a case with Duodu because his brother, a Fante had, been unjustly handled by Duodu, and committed suicide, so that there was a fine of 720 Spanish thalers part of which was laid on the people of Asafo. They then recalled that they possessed some land in Akwapim, and decided to sell it to cover the debt. So they set out for Ahabante. Christaller adds in parenthesis that this was a village in the Akim area, but belonging to Akwapim. The Akwapim people pay the chief of Kukurantumi a tribute for the palm-oil which they make on his land, Nyante, the chief of elder of Ahabante being responsible for this. In Ahabante Nyante said to the Asafo people that he had never heard of the Kukurantumi lands bordering with any others in the area, but he would send to ask the Ampaw (of Kukurantumi) and if the Asiakwa people had land there, then they could sell it. On this Ata Kwaku, Ampaw's nephew and heir, arrived in Ahabante who immediately swore an oath in Ampaw's name that the Kukurantumi lands stretched from Ahabante to Akim. At this the case was taken before Kwadade in Akropong to whom the case was given, since Akropong was nearer to the land in question and thus people could more easily set about deciding where the boundaries were etc. Kwadade sent messengers who looked at the land, and decided that the land near Mampong Bewase belonged to Asafo. And they made a formal statement to this effect, and levied the thanks-fee on the Asafo representatives. The Okyenhene received half of this fee since the Akwapim chief took on the case on his instructions, and is also subordinate to him, and calls him uncle. The Asafo representative then said that their forefathers had owned the land which Ampaw was now trying to retain and made it over to Ampaw in former times when the land had little worth. Since Ampaw had been trying to deprive them of the little that remained to them, they laid claim to the whole of the land. Part of this debt which wished to sell the land to pay came from money which Ampaw took from the costs for settling the dispute which created the debt. Kwadada replied that that was nothing to do with him, his part was simply to send messengers to the Okyenhene to tell him what his judgement had been over the ownership of the land. At this point (in the Kibi hearing), Ampaw was asked why he had sent his nephew to swear the oath? Ampaw replied that he had only sent his nephew to look after his interests and swear the oath if it was necessary to prevent the Kukuranumi people selling land which did not belong to them, instead of which he went about things too rashly. Then said the Akim people - the king's elders, 12 from Kibi and 30 from 3 neighbouring places function as the people’s representatives. The Akwapim people had to sit on this case and incur expenditure, all because of an ungrounded oath, and the Asafo people had expenses, Ampaw should settle these (Christaller notes in parentheses that they were really wanting to bring Ampaw into debt). At this messengers were sent into Akwapim and came back with the reply that the Akwapims reckoned their costs at 144 dollars – which Ampaw accepted. The elders then told him to give the Asafo people 45 dollars as pacification, and dash them a further 18 dollars a sheep and some rum. Altogether in fact the expenses levied from Ampaw came to 7 pereguan or 252 thaler. This was assembled, but then the Asafo people indicated that if they were to be filly pacified, he must pay them an additional ntansa (=108 thaler) which would bring the payment up to 10 pereguan or 360 thaler or £81. If he were to do this they would go with him to the land and divide a portion of it for him, so that he could make use of it. Ampaw them swore Wukuda and Kwanyako (these two are explained only as being in the first case the day on which an Akim king unnamed suffered a disaster, and the second a place 'in fante' where a much loved king had died of small-pox) that he would not hand the land over to the Asafos - they would have to fight for it. At this, the whole negotiations have broken down, and Ampaw returned to Kukurantumi (After an eight months period in Kibi). Christaller adds that in the manuscript Palmer noted that in Akwapim this kind of conflict would not have taken place, since Kwadade would have claimed to be the owner of the land, and enforced his rights - the Akim king is too weak. He also adds as Palmer's comment that the Kukurantumi people had the reputation in Akim of being avanicious, since a stranger staying there has to collect his own water, plantains etc. to eat, and they are also renowned getting more gold from people than they ought.

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.

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.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.04.1865 Proper date: 03.04.1865 Description An account of the resource Reacts to a letter from Basel dated 11th January, which in turn is a reply to their Stations Conference Protocol of 5th Nov 1864. The Basel Committee appear to have taken exception to the requests made, and the tone in which they were made. 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. The Committee has apparently now given instructions that they are not to divert energy to preaching until the building programme is ended.

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.
