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: 12.06.1871 Proper date: 12.06.1871 Description An account of the resource Over whether or not Catechist Kwabi should stay in Kukurantumi. Kromer remarks that they have little knowledge of the intimate situation in the Kibi families, and need a catechist of Kwabi's qualities to keep them informed on this point. To this minute is added a letter from Lodholz dated 10 May 1871 addressed from Akropong to the Kibi missionaries informing them that the Basel Committee has agreed that Kukurantumi should no longer be an outstation and that Kwabi should be transferred to Kibi. However, he has received a letter from the Kukurantumi Christian acknowledging their sins and weaknesses, and proposing to move their houses onto mission land in connection with which they beg to keep their catechist. He himself has visited the place once in December and once in March, and the difference, both in the outward aspect of the mission land and in the attitudes of the Christians (including some excluded ones) was striking. He was not altogether convinced, and asked Kwabi (by letter) how many people were building their houses on mission land, to which the answer seemed to be all of them, 3 members of the community and the excluded ones. He also asked whether there were any excluded Christians who could be re-accepted into the community, and received the answer that Andreas Ewyi and Jonas Abisawu probably could. Kwabi cited for him the proceedings of a session on the subject, with himself and the three full members of the community present. Ewyi and Abisawu were asked 'Do you repent of your sins?' - ‘Yes’. 'Are you going to continue as before?' - 'No, we ask for forgiveness’. 'To whom, then, must you turn?' - 'To Jesus'. Do you want to be accepted into the community again?' - 'If we had not wanted that we would have gone back to our heathen superstitions, though in our weakness, we have fallen into many sins. It is our earnest wish now, however, to set ourselves at the side of Christ'. 'Why have you never come to me to ask for re-acceptance?' - 'Because with our past you would never have believed us'. Abisawu said in addition (in reply to the question why he had not just lived like a heathen), that he had once fallen into a debt which his uncle offered to pay on condition that he gave up Christianity – but he said he would rather live with the debt and remain a Christian. Kwabi’s letter ends with the sentence ‘I think this description of the situation is trustworthy. The school also makes progress. Hoping that you will be able to do something for the Christians here. Yours etc.' Lodholz' opinion against that of Kromer and Haas is that in this situation the removal of Kwabi from Kukurantumi should be postponed until it can be seen what will come out of this development.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.07.1871 Proper date: 21.07.1871 Description An account of the resource Concerning the three graduates of the Kibi Middle School transferred to Akropong. Wilhelm Apeawia - Father the dead king Ata, mother Yaa Bokua. Born 1856-1857, baptised in September 1866, in the School since the beginning of 1863. From Banso. Haas reports that he is not very gifted, though he is anxious that he should be accepted at Akropong and kept there, because if anything were to happen to him for which the missionaries could be blamed by the Okyenhene, then the latter might in revenge take away much more gifted by whom he has 'sent' to the school. His behaviour is good, though somewhat domineering towards the other boys. Charles Kena, son of Asarebreman and Boatemma, born 1857-1858, baptised in December 1868, entered the school in 1868, and comes from Kukurantumi. Better gifted that Apeawia when Ampao decided to return to Kukurantumi and burn the town and himself in it, went away with him and did not return till the April. Andreas Adu, son of Apeagyei (from Asene in West Akim) and Amma Sumkyewu, born 1857-1858, baptised in December 1866, entered the school in January 1867, and from Kukurantumi. Had been a servant of the Kromers. Had also returned to Kukurantumi in January 1869. Creates difficulties with childishness and reactions when something does not please him.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.06.1871 Proper date: 26.06.1871 Description An account of the resource Includes some information on relations between the Okyenhene and the English Government in Cape Coast over the Asante war. In April the Okyenhene was called to Cape Coast to assist in concluding a peace with Asante or at least to send ambassadors with full powers for this purpose. They were in fact sent late, arrived when the Fantes had already concluded a peace, and since they could not help much with the main problem (the return of the Asante prisoners) since they were mostly either dead or sold, they were not treated well, and this news created uproar on their return. In mid-June a representative of the Cape Coast Government came to Kibi who had a stern message for the Okyenhene, though also soft words. The stern message created another sensation- the Okyenhene interpreted it as meaning that Akim might be surrendered to the Asantes if the Okyenhene did not co-operate in the peace negotiations, at which the Okyenhene swore an oath that they would never submit to the Asantes while he and any of his people were alive. So a message was sent back to Cape Coast particularising which of the Asante prisoners had died, and which had been sold, and responsibility for the latter by implication put on the Government, since they had been sold to buy powder and lead when the Akim army was called out at the beginning of the war.

He had not taken the matter before the Okyenhene, but had been wondering whether he should since it was rumoured that the whole thing was an ‘awudisem’ (cock and bull story). However, he was called before the Okyenhene and elders where the guilty men had already sworn an oath that they had not struck him. His own story was apparently believed straightforwardly, he had to pay 16/- but the men were fined 10 dollars and made to give back the money which he had paid them under threat.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.10.1871 Proper date: 02.10.1871 Description An account of the resource A reply to a question sent by the Basel Committee to all missionaries concerning the life of Christian married couples. Concerning the question whether they eat together and pray together, that is difficult to answer from his own observation. It is true that Catechist Date and his wife and teacher Ako and his wife eat together - out of the same dish - and say grace before their meal. But as for the others first of all if a missionary is present it means they may not behave as usual, and secondly there is no order about the way they live, and so one cannot be sure at any time of finding them at a meal. The place where most difficulty occurs, however, is in relations between parents and children. In Kibi at least, children are prized at their worth in money, and in any case belong not to the parents but to the wife's family. Unless this kind of thing is broken down Christian family life will be virtually impossible. How little even their catechist understand what they are teaching about marriage may be instanced by the fact that he once remarked that children should be divided between husband and wife. Difficulties occur in this connection if a marriage breaks up with the wife the guilty party - for she takes the children with her. 'Should we struggle against this custom with all the means at our disposal, or delivery the younger generation resignedly to a hopeless future?' The Christians do not cut themselves loose from their families - indeed, they take on themselves parts of the family debts as they are supposed to do under custom. Another problem is that husband and wife do not have a common purse.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.04.1872 Proper date: 13.04.1872 Description An account of the resource Taking up his own earlier news about the Mohammedans in Akim and Schrenk's mention of them (Annual Report 1871, p76), Lodholz reports their further history. They were based on Kibi, and travelled to the other towns. On their preparation to leave Kibi, however - indeed after the wife had left - the Kibi people took up the idea that they were Asante spies. Lodholz remarks that this is not surprising in view of the war which was going on on the Volta, and they were accused of collecting pebbles from all the Akim towns in order to make a medicine which would kill all their inhabitants, white men included. The husband therefore was made a prisoner, and his wife brought back to Kibi. When the missionaries first interested themselves in the case it seemed there was little danger, but some months later the case was discussed in a full assembly because an ambassador had come from 'Fante chiefs' whose message was that the man should be released since he was a fante. The man himself defended himself before a huge still crowd, speaking good Twi so that the missionaries understood every word. His statements were contradicted, however, but two other fantes who reckoned they had seen him in Kumasi, and could reveal the precise relation between him and the Asantehene in relation to Akim. At this he was sent into Apiedu's compound, and he and his body slaves and 2 of his 3 wives were put in the block. For a time after this secret messengers went to and from between Akim, Akwapim, Ga, Fante 'and so on' concerning the case - even a messenger from the Commandant in Accra who came officially to ask for the man's release, or at least his being handed over to the English Government, in fact also had secret relations with the Accra chief over the case. There must have been a secret agreement between these tribes as to what was to be done to the man. Eventually he and two of his wives were executed in Kibi, and later on two of his body slaves were executed in Banso. Their children were taken away (the missionaries tried to intercede, especially for the suckling child of the third wife who was seized from her by the mob, but were unsuccessful). Lodholz writes concerning these Mohammedans that they went around like mountebanks in Europe by sleight of hand appearing to change sand or earth into gold dust. The Asafo played a major part in the downfall of the Mohammedans, and Lodholz asks therefore what is its attitude to themselves. The answer - there is a systematic attempt to prevent anyone, slave or free, becoming a Christian. For the free men, the technique is for the Asafo to fine him enough sheep to put him into serious debt. The kind of difficulties involved are illustrated by a man who came secretly to Lodholz to apply for baptism, and on being asked about the secrecy cited the problem which had faced Sakyi when it had been known he intended to be baptised. He explained he was tired of the exactions of the Asafo and the Safohene (he was an Asafo drummer) - he had recently had a debt imposed on him and wanted to finish with them. Only the missionaries would have to pay the debt, since one was not allowed to pay such a debt with one's own money, though he had enough to - he would repay them later. This would give him the right to leave the Asafo after sacrificing sheep. The missionaries decided first to have him examined by the catechist, who thought his character was blameless, but when they had decided to act as he suggested the man himself came to them and said that the sum was going to be paid out of the Asafo's money, and that the Safohene had given him no chance of making himself free of the Asafo - obviously his intention to be baptised had become known. Lodholz’ sentence about the man offering himself for baptism is '(he wanted to) come to us, build his house on the station, and live there'. Lodholz cites this as clear evidence of the firm resolve of the leaders of the people against Christianity - fancy such grasping people as the Akims refusing outside payment for a debt. Lodholz’ attitude is that such difficulties are not a bad thing, and that when God's time comes the many young men who say they would become Christians if it was not for the opposition of their masters will be given the strength to break through the barriers raised against them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.01.1873 Proper date: 13.01.1873 Description An account of the resource During the year a new catechist was posted to the station - William Adow. The Kromers left at the beginning of the year because of health difficulties - Haas was able to marry in November. Both the Lodholz, and Missionary Haas, experienced severe illness during the course of the year. Travelling was at a minimum in the course of the year due to illness and convalescence periods in Akwapim, and the demands of building work (repairs) on the station itself. Haas made a long journey (14 days) through Asiaman, Osianase, and Kwabam in the second quarter, though was not able to reach Begoro. Though Catechist Date was released for preaching journeys by the arrival of Adow he too was hindered by sickness including that of his wife whose foot, after all possible means of healing (European and local) had been exhausted, still remained ill enough to be sent to her home town (Aburi) in a hammock in the hope that the change would do her good. The community was increased by 10 in the course of the year, 8 youths and boys and 1 newly-born baptised, and one previous member returning to Kibi. Lodholz was also more at peace with the atmosphere, and though individual members of the community had to be disciplined and encouraged at times, this is only to be expected. Attendance at morning and evening prayers was not satisfactory, especially among members of the community living in Kibi town, but Lodholz is confident that the members of the community pray night and morning, and that not through prayers learned off by heart, but by prayer from the heart. Members are often to be found reading their bibles when they are visited. There are usually a few heathens at services, but seldom many. It has remained very difficult to get boys for the school - Date was very conscientious about this but a change has occurred in Apapam and Dade-Ntem, where the chief and elders are friendlier disposed to them than before, and from where 3 boys have of their own accord into the school. One, having been taken back by his master, refused to eat until he was allowed to return to the school. Of the 9 catechumens, 5 are servants of the missionaries, one a wife of one of the Christians, and three young men from Kibi who have only recently announced themselves.

Communicants: 4 Children: 2 Non-communicants: 4 Catechumens: 2 Heathen pupils in the school: 10 Teacher: Samuel Ohene. Travelling has been frustrated by heavy rains - the paths have all been knee-deep in mud, and were still in a bad condition in December. Besides the difficulty of working with the Akim people, missionary work in the district is particularly handicapped by the condition of the paths, and the fact that the villages are small and very scattered. ‘The roads in Akim are, even in in African eyes, very very bad.' In his street preaching, he once said that Europeans, too, had been, 3000 years before ignorant, half-naked, but had become what they were through 'the good word of Jesus'. At which a youth turned round and said to his elder that they should follow this good word and throw away their idols - the elder however replied that the word had come too late for him. He also explains about street preaching that the attentiveness of the hearers depends partly on the quality of the preaching. The community increased in the year only through Asante's rescue of a child assigned to death. Four of the excluded Christians have applied to be re-admitted. The full members of the community acted in such a way the whole year that if the continuation of the station came into question again, they would not bear any of the blame for this. Asante remarks that the members of the community can pray, though with tautology.

Widmann adds in a subscript that the same wood is used in Akim and Akwapim, it is simply that the wetter Akim climate makes for less suitable wood for shingels, and even then no Akwapim roof would last for 20 years without thorough repairs after at most 12.
