With the installation of Catechist William Adow as 'housefather' tensions developed between him and the pupils - there had been one small strike by all the pupils, and later they heard from the Okyenhene that there was a plan among the pupils to stay away from the school at the end of the mid-year holidays. The missionary judgement on all this is not clear - on the one hand they had been harsh and punished people severely, but on the other some of his strictness was well-directed, e.g. the ruling that even outside lesson time pupils were not to go into Kibi town without permission. At the end of the school year (late June) they had 18 pupils - of the new arrivals at the beginning of the year only 2 remained, and several boys had run away. There is also a short report of Haas' visit to Begoro. It was quite unsuccessful in terms of recruitment of pupils for the school. The main problem - the chief Finin was the whole time not sober and quite incapable of dealing with them. Since their return they learn that Finin was destooled, and the Begoro people wanted to bring him before the Okyenhene's court. He however fled to the coast at dead of night, still drunk Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.25.IX..9 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.25 - Ghana 1873: D-01.25.IX. - Kjebi and Kukurantumi Title A name given to the resource Haas' Report to Basel Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

After a year in the boarding school during which he had a good name, he was taken away by force and given to Asumaneng of Apapam as pawn to cover a loan of 27 dollars. He has since appealed both to Haas and Eisenschmid to be bought out of this. Eisenschmid likes his open and honourable face, he makes a good impression, and asks for 27 dollars from the Slave Emancipation account to buy him free. He will then work as Eisenschmid's house servant until the sum is paid off.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.10.1873 Proper date: 02.10.1873 Description An account of the resource Travelling from Akropong to Kibi they spent the first night in Panto, the second in Kukurantumi. In the latter a man had died and a priest declared that it was his fetish which was responsible - although the priest had been attending the man in his illness. Ampaw broke up an audience he gave to Eisenschmid when Eisenschmid started talking about Ampaw being converted, and a fetish priest intruded into the conversation. Kibi - the community is more or less the same size, and in the same condition as when he left 4 1/2 years before. 'We saw many old and loved faces again though certainly others are no longer in the Christian community (whom we remember). They have not found what they were looking for, or they were tempted out by the lust to sin. It is hard to get Christians and heathens out of the habit of thinking that a Christian is free in his body - we also have to help him towards a means of earning his living regularly.' Another problem is the Asafos - Eisenschmid has spoken to an Asafohene over this type of opposition, warning him that if it goes on he would report it to the English Government - remarking in parenthesis that he would rather not do this, since the regime would do nothing and thus the situation would be simply exacerbate. This could be the removal of the most serious obstacle to conversions, since the younger people are all more or less convinced of the worthlessness of fetish religion, and to a certain extent too of the truth of Christianity. This is even the case with the king, though one can hope for his conversion, his throne is founded on fetish observances. He is, on the whole, however, well intentioned and friendly toward the missionaries - they were invited to an evening meal with him at the time of Nat. Date's departure. His younger followers, too, if not friendly, are at least not hostile. It is the older leader who are the fanatical opponents of the Christian religion. He reports too that -the Okyenhene has gone to Akropong in response to an invitation from the English Government, to confer over the question of sending an expedition to Asante.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 15.01.1874 Proper date: 15.01.1874 Description An account of the resource In the station statistics it appears that Eisenschmid has returned to Kibi in mid-1873 to replace Lodholz, troubled by persistent severe illness. Haas is already a widow. Eisenschmid too suffered an extremely severe attack of illness in November - at the time of writing the report there was no missionary at Kibi. The catechists on the station are William Adow and William Obeng - both unmarried. Teacher Ako is still on the staff. The number of members of the community has remained stable in the course of the year at 45. 24 of these are communicants, 7 non-communicants, there are 14 children. 8 people are catechumens, and there are 23 boys in the boarding school. Despite the stationary numbers, 7 people were baptised, 3 died, and 7 moved away - only 3 Christians moved to Kibi to make up this loss. Services in the Kibi church are attended by heathens and excluded Christians. Two Christian young men are betrothed to two of the girls working as servants for the missionaries. The opposition to the school is not so serious – some pupils have been voluntarily sent by their families. 2 of the Christians are capable carpenters. Some of the others are involved in trade to a certain extent. The missionaries travelled 22 days in the year (on preaching tours), the catechists 73. People were visited in their houses in Kibi proper - this brought many people to the services. On the whole the elders and the Okyenhene had a very pleasant attitude to the missionaries during the year. Two of the catechumen are young men, and have been threatened by their fellows, but after Eisenschmid had spoken to the two head men they were given peace.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.01.1874 Proper date: 19.01.1874 Description An account of the resource The number of the Christian community has increased from 5 to 15, communicants from 4 to 8, children from 2 to 7. There are 4 non-communicants in the community at the end of 1873, 5 catechumens, and 10 heathen school pupils. Asante himself has been having to work on the cleaning of the station from weeds. That the Kukurantumi people were thinking of resettling themselves in Asante as a result of their lost land ease is false. They had thought of resettling themselves further into the interior of Akim, in the area from which they originally came, but decided in the end that even though they had lost land, they were well enough off where they were. He undertook 23 days' preaching journeys in the course of the year. During the year he has acted as host to various officers of Captain Glover's forces travelling in Akim. The school population is still unstable - children are taken away when their parents want to pawn them. Explaining in detail the movement of numbers in the community, Asante explains that there has been no gain from the heathen. The increase is due to the teacher married Mose Badu, the strongest Christian in Kukurantumi, has at last succeeded in finding a Christian wife - Magdalena, daughter of Rosina Osso, once freed by the Basel Mission Slave Emancipation Commission. An orphan boy who had to leave the Haas family when Mrs Haas died and has come to live in the Badu family. There are four excluded Christians under test in prospect of re-acceptance. The second marriage in the community is that of old Jacob, a slave of the Kukurantumihenes, who is married to another elderly slave who has recently asked to be accepted as a catechumen. Asante too regrets that the members of this congregation have no particular economically useful skill and that farming is not the answer so far from the coast.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 14.04.1873 Proper date: 14.04.1873 Description An account of the resource The report is a series of hostile comments on Plans in European Missionary periodicals for an immediate mission to Kumasi. These are that in an independent Asante the hindrances the missionaries suffer from the chiefs subordinate to the English Protectorate will be magnified many times: that every year at the great yam festival it is again resolved never to become political subordinate, especially to the British (Missionary Buhl remarks in a subscript that the priest of the La fetish swears vengeance on the British every year at his great festival too). In fact, if any promise were forthcoming concerning protection for missionaries from the Asantehene it could hardly be kept. Asante suggests an alternative missionary strategy of working in in the Twi districts south of the Asante border - Asin, Denkyira, Wassaw. He also corrects the spelling - you should really write 'Asante’ for 'Ashanti' - the 'sh' is a British insertion.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.04.1873 Proper date: 29.04.1873 Description An account of the resource Concerning the report that the imprisoned missionaries have been executed. Asante is sure that this report is wrong, having other information from fairly sure sources, namely Akims returning from an escape from Asante captivity. They had gone to Kwahu to trade, in a party which included 3 Christians from Aburi (Widman inserted in the margin that they had gone to trade in slaves). They were captured when the Asante-Fante war broke out and taken to Kumasi. There they were taken before Karikari who consigned the Aburi Christians to the care of Ramseyer. This he heard not directly from one of the Akims, but from a man who had recently heard it at first hand. Asante also considers that if anyone will hear news about the missionaries, it would be someone in Akim. There is still secret traffic going on between the two nations and notable news leaks through with this sort of contact. For example the Begoros recently heard from Kwahus who had come there to trade that 400 Asantes had gone towards Krobo to purchase munitions, and had sent a party out in turn to attempt to capture them. In any case the Asantes believe that it was killing Sir Charles McCarthy which has brought such trouble upon them - and they rarely or never kill anyone of significance in the belief that they represent a useful bargaining point in peace negotiations.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.10.1873 Proper date: 08.10.1873 Description An account of the resource Went to Kibi to help during the time of the Haas' severe illness in mid-'73 - expected the Kibi chief to be unfriendly in view of the 'Begoro affair' but instead found him well-disposed to the mission, and especially friendly to the missionaries. If he acts hostilely to the mission, it is under the influence of his elders. Reports a three-week preaching journey north and north-east of Kukurantumi, which brought him to 13 villages. Mease - a few attentive hearers - he did not stay the night knowing that the rest of the people would not return from their hunting before the next day. Anyinasin - he had a fight with a young fetish priest who ran at him with a sword - before the people separated them he had given him several boxes on the ears and the people were amazed that he could do this unscathed. He explains that both in English and local law he was within his rights since the man had run at him with a drawn sword about priest and fetish - he was a young man newly chosen by the fetish, who had a fallen-down white painted house at the beginning of the village. Asante had already talked to him as he began to be in a state of possession, advising him, in view of the poor state of the fetish shrine to change his masters. Asiakwa - comparatively few listeners on account of the nearby gold-digging. People thee speak openly against the fetishes - this is not yet the case in Kukurantumi. Nsutam - along the worst track he has ever experienced - though there he had a large crowd of exceptionally attentive hearers. Nevertheless he could buy no food there. Saman - he had to call people out of their houses for his preaching, and they were still not at all attentive. Osino - again apathy, and people had gone to the gold-mining when he wanted to preach to them a second time. Abompe - he preached to the people before they went out gold-mining for the day, and made some impact with his account of the fall of Adam. Otsehenease – after his preaching on the bible story, the local chief said to him 'I am too old to begin any new life; if Jesus doesn't take me into his kingdom when I die than he will have to send me back here again'. Asante replied 'Listen, brother, (he explains they called each other 'brother' because they were both king's sons) if the king in Kibi has something against you he doesn’t call you and send you back, he puts you in irons’. Dome - where he just told the people a bible study – there were very few of them and they had never heard any Christian teaching before. Begoro - Finin is destooled and currently in Accra. He had in fact fled to Asante when he left Begoro and Asante advised him to go to the coast, which he did straight away, leaving between 10 and 11 p.m. on the night of 4th July. He is going to try to get legal redress from the British Government. The Begoro people pressed for someone to be stationed there and when he explained that the Basel Mission had little money or people left he was told that surely they would get their cut from the huge sums of money the German king had taken from the French? Asante offers some more information on the Begoro view of Europe - Germany is 'the Land of the Missionaries’ or the 'Land of the Pious’ - he was asked if all Germans were pious, and when he explained that this was not the case, was asked if the rest had their fetishes and fetish priests.

The catechists are as before, but there is a new teacher Simeon Bampo. The community has fallen from 32 to 31, with 18 communicants, 2 non-communicants, 11 children and 2 catechumens. There are 22 boys in the boarding school. Kukurantumi Personnel - Simeon Koranteng replaces Asante. The community has fallen from 14 to 12, with 7 communicants, 5 children and 4 catechumens. There are 5 children in Sam. Ohene’s school. Kibi - general account 2 Christians had built small houses on mission land. Before his departure Haas was severely ill, and Asante had severe illness in his family to cope with, as well as the work of the station exacerbated by the fact that it was used as a camp and depot during the war against Asante. For that reason he had travelled little once to Asiakwa, and once on a 10 day preaching journey which took him to Abobiri, Asaman, Asanease, Akanteng, Apiremang, Takyimang, Akem Akropong, and Adade-ntem. On the other hand the two catechista have both travelled 50 days in the year, between them covering 43 villages. The movement of people in and out of the community is mostly in terms of the movement of numbers of the mission and their families. 2 members of the community died, however. The two catechumens are from the family of the most notable Kibi elder one born a house slave reacted to opposition from the elder by threatening to run away to become a catechumen in Accra or Akwapim, citing the new law about slavery as protection. In the school there has been continuing trouble over discipline, though apprently on no very serious scale. Two of the boys are Asantes, brought from his Asante family by a man the missicnaries had earlier freed. Kukurantumi - general report Koranteng had travelled for 10 days since his arrival in Kukurantumi, visiting Ati, Tafo, Osiem, Mease, Anyinasin, Osino, Bunusu, Nsutam, and Asiakwa. Street preaching there is often attended by strangers, especially now the road is open to the tribes from the interior. The catechumens are 2 wives of Christians, and a married couple.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.07.1874 Proper date: 13.07.1874 Description An account of the resource Very morose concerning the community - two members had to be excluded for adultery soon after his arrival, and shortly after it was discovered that the elder, William Dapa, was a habitual thief. He has still not met half the people on the list of members. Haas told him they were away trading, Asante regards them as probably making a calling out of being vagabonds. Besides the servants of the mission ataff and the School-boys there is hardly anyone in the chapel usually. Street preaching was usually carried on with a large and attentive crowd especially from among the relatively large numbers of Asantes currently in Kibi. These consist of princes and their followers from Juaben and other smaller states, who are in Kibi with relatives they are prepared to offer as hostages in peace negotiations with the British, and also in pursuit of British protection for themselves. They are in Kibi because they want the Okyenhene to act as a go-between for them. 'They all believe that our business of preaching and the school would be the best means against the constant war between us and Asante' - they want missionaries to go to them. The whole of the Asante area that was not Asante proper, and part of Asante proper too, has fallen away from allegiance to the Asante empire, and wants to be accepted into the British protectorate - when everything has been set in order a great mission field will be open north and east of Kumasi – Nkoranza, Gamang, Ntwumuru, Brong, Krakye, Worawora, Juaben, Kwahu. The Kwahuhene has already told Asante to write to Europe and tell them he is ready to receive missionaries, and the Juaben ambassadors assure him that when their king has heard what they have seen of the mission in Kibi he will ask for a missionary presence too. In the boarding school there are two main problems - the chief and elders do not want to send pupils, and the food is so little that pupils run away because of it. Asante complains that the Kibi people do not even grow enough plantains to feed themselves, but have to go to other Akim villages to get food. He is having to bring in food from elsewhere, too, including yams from Akwapim. Compared with the Kibi people, the Kukurantumi people with their farms are much less inclined to travel. In subscripts both Mader and Buhl contest this view, the former reckons the food point is only an excuse for the losses in the school, he himself feels that Haas has been too inconsistent in his discipline. The latter feels that Asante has not taken enough time to understand the situation and has adopted a rather different standpoint from that from which he viewed the Larte community Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.26.VI..213 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.26 - Ghana 1874: D-01.26.VI. - Kjebi Title A name given to the resource Asante's Report for the Second Quarter of 1874 Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

They agreed to the former request, but only the two married members agreed to the latter. The rest refused, since they have no wives and children they do not need farms. Asante said that the mission would gladly buy their produce this did not impress them nor did the news that the Basel Committee had sanctioned marriage with heathen women in the event of no Christian wives being available. The young men complained that it was impossible to get wives in Akim without paying enough money to compete with the elders nor have the members been impressed with the idea of starting a prayer and bible study meeting, and their attendance at services is irregular. Attendance at street-preaching in Kibi is large especially among the Asante traders, and the Juaben hostages and their followers.
