This is not provided and there is a danger that no Akim scholars will complete the course there. Already of the 5 pupils who want to Akropong at the beginning of the year 2 have been expelled, but a third has left over the question of food. (There is a detailed plan of the Kibi station lands and the building on it ttached to this report, the plan for financial support is supported by Widman and Mader).

A large part is taken up with the case of the youth and the girl who had to be excluded for adultery. Another problem however, was the discovery that Sam. Amoa, the carpenter taught by_Eisenschmid who for a long time had been active as a carpenter on his own, was in debt to the tune of 144 dollars (4 Pereguan). The missionaries were suspicious of this – they felt that the origins were almost certainly a severe punishment for some misdemeanour punishable in native law - adultery, or false swearing of an oath. It turned out, however, that this was a debt incurred at the time Amoa was working for Christaller. Lodholz offers another example of a boy on the station who had taken over part of a family debt, and it had doubled in the course of a year - interest rates were one of the worst evils in Akim. Everyone had apparently expected that the missionaries would pay Amoa’s debts for him, While in Begoro Asante had suffered an attack of guinea worm, and had heard of the death of a child.

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.

No. 52, Fol. 155. The subject, was the re-settling of Kukurantumi, the Basel Committee's letter is a reply to the Station’s Conference Minute from June 1870 (see Akim No. 10). The Basel letter seems to have been rather critical of them on this account, and the minutes (Lodholz’ opinion) are taken up with a comparison of the position of the missionaries' position with the sacrifices of the German soldiers in the Franco-Prussian war. Lodholz’ reaction is not especially enthusiastic about the war. He speaks about sacrifices for the Fatherland, but equally reckons that their loneliness, disappointments (citing his earlier quarterly reports for the year) and travelling problems are the equal of the sacrifices of the German army.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.01.1871 Proper date: 05.01.1871 Description An account of the resource An annex to his Annual Report (see No 18), replacing his reports for the third and fourth quarter of 1870. Partly a description of the death of Abraham Boama – very peaceful and faithful, on the mission station (Lodholz had to ask permission of his master to bring him there during his last days.). He quotes a late speech of his - 'You (Lodholz) must bury me, and pray over my grave. I don't want to be buried by the heathen, nor placed in their cemetery. You must make me a coffin, and when you put me in it you must not smear me with white earth like the heathen do for purification, nor must you wrap my body in a cloth but in a shroud.' He writes also about William Dapa, ex-servant and washerman of Eisenschmid’s, whom he had visited through two severe illnesses. In his first Lodholz reckoned he could already see the mark of faith in him - especially in that he learned to suffer his illness patiently, and with his eyes on the Lord. Also he became franker and franker in his dealings with himself. After his illness he showed the change in him in practical ways - paid off his few debts, made his own tools and set out to earn his living fully as a carpenter. In his second illness he spoke even more frankly to Lodholz, giving him an insight into Akim psychology and concepts he had not had before confessing earlier sins and unfaithfulness, and talking to him about the true state of people in the community and in Kibi itself. He told Lodholz in detail how at the time of the last Odwira a man had been sacrificed by the Okyehhene and his blood sprinkled on the drums and other musical instruments. His history shows just how, when the Holy Spirit really begins to work in the hearts of the African members of the community, it improves their relations with the missionaries. He also describes the conclusion of peace between the ‘eastern Akims' and the ‘western Akims' who for the first time he calls Kotokuers, and reports that they got their name from their carrying of the Asantehene's pocket - kotoku. The intermediary was Ferguson, who conveyed to the king the Governments's displeasure at the constant rumours of another war between Kibi and the ex-Gyadam people. (Lodholz remarks that these were founded at least on the fadt that in the last year and in 1870 the Okyenhene had expressed his hatred for his uncle's enemies, and had. talked about fighting them once more). The meeting to arrange the peace took place at Akanten. It was stormy – the Kokotus wanted to lay down conditions unacceptable to the Kibi ambassadors, for example that a certain head of an ex-Gyadam family, who had sworn fetish to serve the old king Ata and had been given the right to settle in east Akim, should be returned to Kotoku. This turned out to be a point which the ambassadors were insisting on, not Efua (Kotokuhene), and it was eventually dropped. In the ceremony of making the peace Ferguson's interpreter took the Kotoku fetish Kyere to the 5 Kibi ambassadors to drink, it being fanned by a boy with an elephant's tail. It was contained in a brandy bottle carried in a small brass pan, and carried in complete silence with great reverence shown on the faces of the onlookers. The feta was a dirty white liquid. Ferguson's interpreter (a heathen) had taken Dyon leaves, and formed them into a sort of cup in the first three fingers of his right hand. He then poured out some of the drink, set the toes of his left foot over the toes of the left foot of the individual who was to drink, and made a speech in which he stressed that if the drinker was intent on treachery, the fetish should kill him. After this he poured from the drink in his hand three times into the mouth of the man making the oath, poured the rest ever his head. At this the Ambassador leaned to one side, shuddered and spat three times. The Kotokus had to drink Wankobabi, this fetish being in a beer bottle, and shaded by three boys with fresh-cut palm branches. It is water from a stream that flows into the Berem 1 1/2 hours North-East of Kibi. After this the remainder of the fetish was poured out by its owners on the road leading to the other's country. While this was going on the horn players sang the praises of the fetish. Following this ceremony invitations were exchanged by ambassadors who came to the two capitals to congratulate the kings at the time of their yearly festivals. The two Kotoku ambassadors knew Kromer, and he also recognised them. The Ferguson mission was also concerned with an attempt to get the Kibi people to hand over their Asante prisoners to the English Government at Cape Coast in order to facilitate a general exchange. The Akims would only give up one young man, however, on the grounds that they wanted to see their own prisoners first.

Much is printed in the Heidenbote 1870, pp49-50, p78, p121ff. Other points in the manuscript include: The Begorohene had sent a party of men with the hunter who Asante had commissioned to take the message to Kumasi. The messenger was able to give some information on the prisoners – e.g. that they were not in Kumasi itself, but in a village about as far away as Akropong is from Mampong Akw. The man was able to say this as he had spent a whole year in Abiri. He 'also gave news on the war, which had been going badly for the Asantes - many losses and nothing much obtained. The army was now on its return journey in an area on the upper Volta called Pae, and from there they would return via Sohae to Akoroso. Many salt and tobacco merchants had come with Asante’s messenger - they were buying a quantity of salt which cost 1/- on the coast for 2 dollars and selling it again for 9-10 dollars. The business is arranged in such a way that only two Kwahus who have a secret connection with the Begorohene are allowed into the town – and they have to remain in concealment. The rest stay in the forest, while these two do business for them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.07.1870 Proper date: 08.07.1870 Description An account of the resource Describes the road to Koforidua as normal missionary travel, from Koforidua to Kukurantumi as an apostolic labour. There was scarcely any road from Kukurantumi to Kibi. He was accompanied to Kibi by two 'Constables' who had a present for the king from the Governor, and a letter with the requests (a) to allow the Basel Mission to send messengers into Asante from Begoro (b) to mobilise his army in order to assist in hindering the Asante withdrawal from Ayigbe. The former point was not conceded in any straightforward way. The Okyenhene asked Eisenschmid why the Basel Mission wanted to make connections with Asante through Begoro, when everyone knew the road to Asante went through Obomosu? And he was very concerned about the salt trade passing through Begoro. He in fact insisted that only one request could be adhered to at one time - and insisted on writing to the Governor in these terms before allowing Schrenk and Eisenschmid to travel to Begoro. His interpreter in this session was one Carl Quist, known to the missionaries, who had apparently stolen from Kromer.

Part is also to be found in Heidenbote 1870 p121f. Additional material: The Begoro people, having asked Schrenk and Eisenschmid's advice as to what to do about the sale of salt, ad an oath sworn that only salt actually in the town should be sold. In fact this was only a front – Schrenk and Eisenschmid saw with their own eyes that salt was being brought into the town from all sides. Schrenk’s opinion is that the Begoro-Kwahu route was only a hunter's route previously. Very 1ittle salt was probably smuggled along it. On the other hand, though Schrenk thought the trade by the Begoro people was wicked, he was prepared to act in terms of getting the Asantehene goods worth the 216 dollars which the chief was supposed to have had with him but which he then said he had left in Kwahu. He broke off carrying through this plan when they received news from Odumase of the battle in which Dompre was wounded. Obviously they could not carry on trade with a people who were fighting the Gas. The Asiakwa chief was asked by the Begoro chief to act as his mediator in Kibi. The information about the 218 dollars fine levied on Begoro by Kibi came to Schrenk from Kwabi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.01.1872 Proper date: 11.01.1872 Description An account of the resource The health of the missionaries was bad- Kromer's health is broken, and Lodholz suffered severe attacks of fever especially in the first 8 months of the year, being apparent1y twice near to fatal illness. Kukurantumi was visited 8 times, Asiakwa 7 times, and one long journey was made to Begoro. Kwabi is given an accolade for his ‘free and open manner', the missionaries regret that he will no longer work for them when David Asante moves to Kukurantumi. Numerical account of the community in the year. Two girls excluded from for marrying heathens, one youth excluded for not attending services and carrying on in a heathen way, another young man excluded for adultery, a Christian woman excluded for adultery - this resulting in the break-up of one of the few Christian marriages - 4 boys left the Boarding School, one to return to his home, three to go to the Middle School in Akropong of whom one has since run away. 4 Christian adults moved into Kibi (some had belonged to the community before) and there was one new baptism. The report on the atmosphere of the community is depressing - a general apathy seems to have been characteristic of the year. A cook of Kromer, who had been bought out of pawn by the missionaries, and had some other long-standing debts paid for him, lost 20 dollars gambling in the hope the process would, be repeated. It was not, and he was sold. A cripple, given a copy of the new Twi bible for Christmas was angry that he did not also get the customary cloth. Married life is unsatisfactory - wives will live away from their husbands for months if they come from another village, and they and the husbands do not possess much common property. Three young men in the community have not pursued plans to their living by handwork (2 cases) and teaching. Numbers in the school stand at 24 - since the new school building has two rooms and comfortable space for 50 they have been holding lessons in one of the rooms really intended for dormitories. The hostility of the Okyenhene is the greatest difficulty facing the School. Sometimes his anger has put the very axistence of the school into doubt. They have, however, also had diffiCulty in the course of the year with the laziness of some of the boys. Preaching to the heathen happens so infrequently in many places that though the missionaries do preach from texts, or on subjects which occur to them as useful, on the whole what they, like to do best is preach a brief salvation history. He is concerned, however, at the relatively little amount of their preaching which is understood. There are 13 catechumens, including 4 girls. The latter almost all lack a proper grounding in Biblical History and therefore have to learn to second part of the catechism by heart and then have it explained to them. The rest of the catechumens are boys who are taught out of the confirmation booklet, most of them learn Biblical History in school and the confirmation booklet by heart.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.11.1871 Proper date: 21.11.1871 Description An account of the resource In the Kukurantumi community one person was re-accepted, and the few members of the community moved into the schoolmaster's house on the mission compound while building their houses on mission land. Andreas Ewi and Josua Abisa, according to what Kwabi has heard, have settled that they want to serve the Christian God again, and with this in mind no longer support their wives in their superstitious customs. On the other hand, two youths, Jonas Apiasa and Immanuel Yawn not only failed to attend services, but also conducted themselves like heathen. Because of the school he was not able to travel as much as usual, visiting Osiem Naase and Anyinasing 12-15 times each, and attempting to preach in Tafo 3 times. In Tafo the fetish has forbidden preaching, and when he has tried to preach the people have all left the street. In Osiem he always has listeners, the chief and his wife are especially attentive, and the wife indeed recognises the truth of the gospel, though she is far from cutting free from heathenism. In Maase he has had to speak seriously about the peoples' foolishness in expecting him to dash them tobacco and spirits before preaching, The school re-opened with 12 pupils, but once they found that they were not to be paid half left immediately, and Kwabi has to go round the village seeking out the rest every day, so that the school lasts only for two hours. During the year an excluded Christian, Paul Teaseye, died. 3 days before his death he was persuaded, partly because a fetish priest would do nothing for him unless he renounced Christianity - to die a Christian - signifying this by laying a hand on his forehead and a hand on his breast. Near his death a ‘crownprince’ of Kukurantumi, Atte Kwaku, tied a fetish round his neck by force, though the man himself later tried to get rid of it when he was too weak. At his death he asked to be taken out into the open air, in order to die looking at God, and Kwabi took this as enough evidence of his dying a Christian to bury him in the Christian cemetery.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 06.05.1871 Proper date: 06.05.1871 Description An account of the resource Of the 13 new pupils in the boarding school 3 were from Akwapim, 2 were pupils who had been in the school previously, 2 had come to the school in the face of family opposition. In February he had made a visit to Begoro to recruit pupils for the school. All the villages on the Kibi side were deserted because people were at the gold-diggings, and all the Begoro villages were deserted because the people had been called to Begoro in connection with a dispute between chief and elders over the excessive drinking of the former. He had to wait 3 days to get a hearing in these circumstances, at the end of which, after excited discussion, it was decided that the chief would be deposed if he took to drink again. When Haas spoke their wish to have boys for the school, the people were not willing to give them. He got only two, hearing later that many boys were only prevented by force from following them. In Asiakwa on the return journey they met the chief, who asked him to return in one month. But on that second visit there were no pupils to be had. From the point of view of relations with the chief elders and people, he does not feel Begoro is very suitable for a missionary station - they seemed interested in nothing but the money they could gain from the presence of a European. In connection with a second station, Haas warmly recommends a high priority for a girls' boarding school - those of his boys who do not go to the Akropong Middle School are lost to the community when the time comes for them to marry. In reporting on his health he remarks that it has been good, except when he was quite shattered by the murder of a man in the town after long tortures. Reporting further on recruitment of pupils, he has been given one by the chief of Kwaben, which means yet another Kwaben boy - one is already in Akropong, another had to be expelled for loose behaviour, said one has already completed several years in the Kibi boarding school. (The Begorohene who was in difficulties with his subjects was Fining).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 12.05.1871 Proper date: 12.05.1871 Description An account of the resource Reports that because of the difficulty of getting Akims to do regular work, they brought in Accra workmen for their building operations. 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. Mrs Widman had come from Akropong unaccompanied to be with Mrs Kromer at the birth of her child.
