Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.08.1878 Proper date: 29.08.1878 Description An account of the resource Attempting an etymology for Abetifi, he reckons it is not derived from abe + tifi to mean ‘palm-summit’, but from abotan (sometimes shortened abo) + tifi, meaning rocky summit. You can still meet older people who use the first (earlier) name (it's not clear whether he means ‘abotantifi’ or ‘abotifi’). The rest of the letter is a description of the station - on the path towards the station which the missionaries had cleared to 6'-7’ the Abetifi graveyard is on the right - the monkeys in the nearby patch of fetish wood have noticed that they are not troubled in that place and to live there. There are three different species, the largest and most handsome is black with long hair, a white beard and a white tail. Concerning the station itself perhaps the most interesting is the description of the husbandry and gardening - the cows go about with bells in the Swiss style - they are not tended and this helps to have them brought in at night. In the garden (north of the mission house) are carnations, Spanish cress, balsam, zinnia, cabbages, beans lettuce, spinach, onions, cucumbers, and a few vine cuttings - though they are pessimistic about the chances of the latter. From his description here (as in the sketch in Heidenbote) - the old missionary path to the station is approximately along the line of the present surfaced road. The dimensions of the mission house (excluding verandas) are given as 82x16' - there are four rooms on each floor. In the final paragraph he adds that a few days before a chief from the town whom the youngmen especially suspected of poisoning fled to the station because the young men wanted to kill him. As far as they can discover on the station he is really innocent, and no longer in danger of his life. However, there is a fine to pay, and the man is still living in the catechist's house. Ramseyer says it is according to the Kwahu and Asante custom that you take in someone fleeing in this way.

The real king of Kwahu is Aku Amoa, but he is old and delicate and most of the functions of the king are performed by the chief of Abetifi who will probably succeed him. Aku Amoa’s seat is at Abene. He describes a preaching tour undertaken with the boys of the boarding school - their singing is interesting to the people. In Abene a funeral custom is interrupted to enable him to speak. They also went to Sadai, but found hardly anyone in the village since they had all gone to the Afram to fish. (The Afram is 5 hours away).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 22.01.1880 Proper date: 22.01.1880 Description An account of the resource Teacher Adu had to be expelled for adultery, and while catechist Ntow has worked well he has hadmany difficulties over getting married. His first intended was strongly suspected of having committed adultery with a catechist in Aburi, his second was also suspected of adultery. One problem is that Akwapim people do not like coming to Akim. In Begoro itself the community lost 18 Members. 3 died, 7 moved away, and 8 were excluded. 3 were excluded because of drunkenness, 4 for adultery, and one after getting into debt has disappeared to Salaga. In addition two Christians were excluded from Communion for having taken part in a fetish ceremony. On the other hand 14 people have joined the community (this presumlably includes babies, since the total loss to the community in the course of the year was 4). Outside Begoro there has been progress. Together the two catechists travelled for 110 days. In Anyinam there was a demand for a catechist which could not be satisfied. 5 people were baptised there in the course of the year. One of the convert's children died a month after the baptism but had been ailing long before. They travel to Begoro for communion In Fankyeneko the Christian community has increased from 16 to 24, a result of the baptism of 3 adults and 5 newly born children of the Christians. One person was excluded from Communion on the grounds of having taken part in the ‘custom' of a deceased relative, and being in general unpeaceable in his conduct. All the adult Christians but two are married - in Fankyeneko the mission faces comparatively little the marriage difficulty which troubles them so much in Begoro. They have made themselves a service and have started on a swish house for the catechist. In Dwenease there are now 3 Christians. This is a tough bigotted village – compared with Fankyeneko where there are no fetish priests in this town are ten, all zealous in their calling. One of the Christians had been a pawn. His master did not want him to become a Christian, and so Mohr approached the uncle who had pawned him and asked him to pay half the debt (£3). Mohr would advance the other half, and the man would then have to work for him to pay off this advance. In Osino there is no room for the gospel in the excitement of the people at quarrels with Fankyeneko, and the intrigues of a crafty fetish priest. (Obeng from Bankyeneko has been preaching there weekly during the year). Over the whole area of the station there has been an absolute increase in the Christian community from 66 to 77, including a total loss of 20. You can only tell how deeply these people have become Christian by questioning them individually, a good reason for hoping that their numbers do not increase too fast. On the whole like children they have to be led forward - Mohr clearly feels that he has some power in the situation, since he speaks of marriage quarrels of major dimensions which he has been able to settle, also exclusions are not greeted passive by the rest of the community. The heathen too are alive to exclusions - excluded people are subject to taunts and jibes every day. The school in Begoro has only 6 pupils in it, the exclusion of teacher Adu creating great difficulties, and people are still being inspired by the fetish priestess not to allow their children to attend school. They equate going to school and being a Christian. There is in the report a discussion of the mission geography of Akim connected with the question whether certain places should be served from Begoro or Kibi. Listing the Begoro outstations he names Fankyeneko with its two nearby hamlets of Dome and Gyampomani; Dwenase and Abompe, ten minutes apart, both the size of Fankyeneko; Osino; Anyinam and nearby Adasawase. There are no other towns in the current area of the Begoro station. (NB: A map has been sent to Basel to which this is a commentary). Mohr asked the General Conference to allow Begoro to work also in the towns of Nsutam and Samang, but this was turned down on the grounds that politically speaking these were Asiakwa towns. This Mohr feels is unsatisfactory since already Anyinam and Adasawase are Kibi towns worked from Begoro, and Anyinasing and Mmaase are Asiakwa towns worked by the mission from Kukurantumi. In any case while before the question of political dependence was important (although even then it was most significant in war-time), now in the colony it is possible form, for example, a Begoro man to go to court in Kukurantumi or Kibi, only if he is a Gymaseni or has some office in the chief's court or in the town is he dependent on the chief.
