He also adds as a current advantage that a number of their workers are ready to go to Kumasi.

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: 06.10.1879 Proper date: 06.10.1879 Description An account of the resource Discussing the occurrence of the deaths at Begoro and Abetifi remembers how Inspector Josenhans had said in one of his lectures in the Missionhouse in Basel that each new station cost at least one life. Explaining the delay in presenting final building accounts for Begoro he says that Glatzle died before many of the small finishing jobs had been done. With the new groups of Christians in the outstations to instruct and baptise Mohr has not had much time for this type of work, and there is no-one in Begoro to whom he can hand it over even under supervision. Glatzle had trained no Begoro carpenters - all had come from Accra. The Accra men had returned home several months ago. In Dwenase 6 people presented themselves for baptism, though three lapsed because they said they needed a catechist to help them stand firm against the heathen. (Mohr reports this as a widespread stand in the Dwenase-Abompe-Anka-ase and Osino areas, and says that a new catechists for each area would find results came quickly. There is a demand for schools inter al). Also young boys in Dwenase, who are pawns, are running away to come to school in Begoro, and have been sent back 3 or 4 times. One has indeed succeeded in getting permission to attend school by persistence, and the others are waiting for a suitable opportunity to try again. The Dwenase Christians regularly go to Sunday Services in Fankyeneko and also visit that place several times a week for instruction. But such moving about opens them to the taunts of the heathen - on the whole it is thought to be an evil (by the heathen) if they receive their instruction in another place. The chief of Dwenase has argued that they are avoiding their duties at townsmen thereby. An additional complication is the enmity which exists between some of these towns; for example in the past the grouping has been Begoro against Osino and Fankyeneko. This year it is Begoro and Fankyeneko against Osino. There has been blood shed over the question of the ownership of a certain stream disputed between Osino and Fankyeneko, and though in Accra the case has been judged in favour of Fankyeneko the Osino people are not at peace with this, and anyone from Osino going to Fankyeneko for baptismal instruction is liable to be beaten and fined on his return. It is to this letter that a map of the Begoro mission area is appended.
