Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 10.01.1888 Proper date: 10.01.1888 Description An account of the resource Of the 24 pupils in the school (excluding day-pupils) at the beginning of the second half of the year had left by Christmas - one to become Tschopp’s servant, one because he simply did not want to attend school. The school suffered an epidemic of measles in September and October. One of the pupils (at least) seems to have had tuberculosis (Charles Odame). He probably cannot therefore be taken into mission employment, though this will have to be decided in the next half year, since he has the requisite seniority. His classmate Martin Pereko can probably be recommended. In reviewing the history of the graduates of the School who had been to the Middle School at Begoro Schmid remarks that Jacob Muni was in fact from the coast and has returned there. (Much of the report is couched in terms of an apologia to the mission friends in Europe - and indeed to the Kwahu people themselves - for the scanty observable returns from the school) Some points emerge as to the regime in the school: - They are not supposed to get the area, around their sleeping rooms dirty. - They are issued with soap weekly to wash their clothes on Saturdays. - They are supposed to wash their hands, face and feet every morning before morning prayers, but usually one can see traces in at least one case of a man who has simply bathed his face in the dew on the way to the chapel. - Cutlasses etc used in the cleaning of the station regularly go missing, and the guilty party claims that someone took it, rather than acknowledging simply that he lost it out of carelessness. Schmid is teaching them singing with the help of a violin which lately arrived from Hamburg. Christmas was au usual a big event. On the altar in the chapel, they had two illuminated transparent pictures one of the birth of Jesus, the other of the presentation by the Wise Men. In the comments on the table of information on the scholars is the information that Odame carried earth in the days when the mission house in Abetifi was being built. None of the boys is a slave or pawn. Schmid offers the names.of all the boys who had been in the Boarding School and left before he took over, since 1879 (in the order they appeared in the register): Kwasi Wiredu, Kwabena Abankwa, Kweku Brehunu, Kweku Agyako, Kwasi Ansong, Kwaku Fori, Kofi Koranteng, Kwame Ohemeng, Kvabena Obee, Kofi Asomaning, Kwami Boo, Kwasi Akomaning, Kofi Anim, Kwasi Fosuhene, Kwadwo Bre, Kwame Atakora, Kwaku Muni, Kwaku Beko, Kofi Adakwa, Kwami Bekoe, Kwabena Gyane, Kwame Bosompem, Kwabena Anim, Yaw Pereko, Kwasi Gyamera, Kwami Aforo, Kwaku Anim, Kwame See, Kwasi Titia, Kweku Darefo, Yaw Donko (the names were written in modern script).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.02.1888 Proper date: 01.02.1888 Description An account of the resource Details of property: He gives the number of Christian houses in Begoro as 20-24. The DC for Akim was staying in the Begoro Mission House at the time of writing the report. The sleeping and eating accommodation for Middle School pupils in Begoro had been completed. All the Asiakwa Christians are settled on mission land. A chapel was in the process of being built in Anyinam. In Abomosu the Christian village and deacon‘s house had been destroyed. The Akim CC was using a temporary sleeping room put up previously for the Middle School pupils as his court house. And two of the ground floor rooms in the Mission house were being used at his prison. His 25 Hausa soldiers are living in the Christian quarter, and though paid 75d weekly subsistence the missionaries had to press to get any of this paid to the Christian’s providing food. Eventually 50d weekly was agreed on as a reasonable bill. Houses were being built for them, but since each house was earning them only 12 Marks, the people were not hurrying over them. The DC had surveyed a hill near Apapam as a possible eight for a Government settlement, but Governor Griffith had not authorised this. He gives Dr. Smith (the DC) the testimonial that he goes about the work with an unbending integrity and has thereby earned respect not to say fear. He is sharp on chiefs who do not keep that paths and villages clean, and he is much more decisive over against Kwasi Kuma than his predecessor (Captain Lethbridge) was. The missionaries will much regret his leaving when the time comes for that. In Kibi repairs were taken in hand during the year after the damage of the riots, and the buildings were far enough forward for the school to begin again in February. There is much building in the Christian village, since not only are damaged houses being repaired, all the Christians who had previously lived in the Christian quarter of Klbi have now moved onto mission land. In Apedwa and Apapam the damage to mission property was not large, however, the chapel in Apapam was unrepairable (it is not clear from the report whether this was because of riot damage or not) but since there are only 7 adult men in the community, on the missionaries' advice these have put up a temporary structure for services. In Kukurantumi all the Christians are now settled on mission land - in Asiakwa in the text it says they have all begun building, and the phrase is not resolved with the statement in the list of details of property. The mission has no house for its employees in Asafo, Tafo, Anyinasing, Tete, Akropong, Akim, Banso. Only in Asafo and Banso do they have to pay rent, however. Ata had dashed the missions a patch of land in Banso near the royal burial ground, just before the troubles of December 1886, but they had not been able to take possession of this because he was himself buried there now, and feeling was still strong against the Christians on the grounds that they had been responsible for his death. The houses in Abomosu had fallen in because they had been de-roofed. He remarks that the oil and rubber trades are almost in abeyance, and wonders whether something might be done to promote a local production of soap by improving the traditions process and to it adding the use of oil for lighting. The mission staff had not changed during the year. However, with illness, and the need to be present on the Coast for the court case, it was only September when Rösler could make the first tour of the Akim churches of the year. Mohr was forbidden from going to Kibi till December. Among the local employees the following changes had taken place: Cat. Jos. Labi from Tumfa to Apedwa. Evang. Botwe of Apedwa had disgualified himself by running away. Ewi from Abomosu to Tumfa though he has been almost constantly with his family in Kukurantumi and may have to be pensioned because of illness. Boabea to Tafo. Instead or going to Nkwatanang stayed for most of the year helping Ofori in Kibi, he has since been posted to Otumi where there is a little group of 7 Christians and 7 Catechumen. There are no Christians in Nkwatanang. For part of the year Teacher Asumeng was on 1/3 wages, because he had spent a long time sick with a local doctor, not going to see the mission doctor in Aburi as he was warned he should; In the end, when he went to Eckhardt, he was pronounced fit for work after a few weeks treatment. There had been difficulty between Ofori and Mohr during the year. They have adopted the administrative expedient of reducing holidays since so many of their local agents spend longer away from their station than they should on the grounds or sickness. In future this will be punished, unless they have a certificate from the mission doctor. People who do not have their wives with them, and have no good reason for this, are being put on half pay. The local agents travelled for a total of 200 days during the year. As he was writing he heard about a new Government decision on Government presence in Akim. A temporary station was to be built on the Pintang Hill, near Apedwa. In order to facilitate communication the path from Apedwa to Nsawam was to be improved - this would make Apedwa two days away from the coast, while at Bomso, Kade and Sankyi the people will be paid to maintain a boat as ferry. They took the opportunity to give the evangelists a ten week course in the period before they could return to their stations in October. He gives different figures from those in the printed Annual Report. According to this report the decrease was 210 overall, a reduction from 1389 to 1179 members of the Akim Christian community. However of the reduction of 210 53 died, and 95 moved away to another residence. In Begoro overall there was a slight increase in the numbers of people in the community though they suffered a serious loss in the death of their Senior Presbyter Mose. At one time there were as many as 139 soldiers quartered in the Christian village. In Apepam there was a reduction of 21 in the numbers in the community, it now stands at 87. Of these 14 were communicants, including 5 married couples. There are 23 non-communicant adults. Asafo - community at 16, the catechist and wife the only communicants. Mohr cannot understand why this should be. Asiakwa - reduction from 171 to 152, including all baptisms. Tate - a reduction of 15, of which 13 were exclusions. In the Kibi area it was the Apapam and Tete people who were foremost in attacks on the Christians. Tafo and Osiem – 26Cchristians together, 5 of them non-communicants, and 14 children. The Osiem peop1e had been fierce against Christians, beating those who passed through the village during the persecutions. Anyinasing - hard ground, but perhaps things will be improved by the main road from Apedwa to Nsawom when it is in use. Mmase - there are only four non-communicant Christians in this town. (The Kibi and Kukurantumi passages are printed in the Annual Report).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 14.02.1881 Proper date: 14.02.1881 Description An account of the resource Anyinam - he repeats the point that most of the community are slaves out of Kwahu. The Wife of the presbyter who was sold off to Kwahu with her children has not been returned. Nevertheless at Christmas 2 married couples and two children were baptised. Kwabeng, With Asakwa and Bomma - Seth worked well to protect his community in the days of the revolt, and when he was forced to leave many left with him to Akwapim. Those who remained behind lapsed, and when they said they would wait for re-aoceptance until after the enstoolment of a new chief they were excluded. The Fankyeneko area is a dismal picture – in Fankyeneko attendance at services is desultory, while in Dwenase-there has been a complete lapsing, and in Osino the Christians, who in any case were never more than a married pair, have quite gone back to heathen ways, working on Sundays, and show-no wish to be re-accepted. Reviewing the district around Tumfa, organised as if Tumfa was to be a deacon's centre, Rösler reports that though in 1885 there were high hopes in this area with 44 baptisms, mostly of young people, it had started to be difficult before the persecutions, with boys not persisting in the school in Kibi, and exclusions of members necessary. Since the persecutions only three people have asked for re-acceptance and resettled on mission land. Akropong-Takyiman — the Christians could only return to Akropong in December, since this is a village belonging to the Okyenhene, and the Queen Mother had made an earlier attempt to settle back impossible. A difficult case had occurred there, concerning a Christian who was put in bonds at the time of Ata's investigation of the theft from his house. A nephew of his, a heathen, had said that if he had been his uncle he would have sworn the King's oath. This was reported to the Okyenhene mho then fined the man almost £50. He escaped, hut then his-brother was made to pay the fine, which he did by borrowing-money. After the settlement between Akim and the Christians, the family which lent the money wanted it back. The case came before the DC at Begoro who judged that the money had been loaned and must be paid back, and the beneficiary was dead, so that the whole sum fell on the family of the Christian. (The beneficiary was apparently chief Amu of Asiakma, who had died during the year). The two brothers had agreed to divide the debt, but the Christian was in serious straights, since so much of his property had been stolen. Banso – the community declined only by the single man who moved to Tumfa. The first attempt by the catechist Ofei, to return there came to nothing, however, because the heathen population were very hostile, partly put up to it by the Queen Mother who wants no Christians near the royal cemetery. Even the Christians said that they did not want a teacher, out of fear of trouble. Abomosu - the only Christian who did lapse during the troubles keeps himself quietly on his farm. There are rumours that part of the Christians wish to be re—accepted, however. NB Mohr writes at the end of his report that there are no more settlements of any size awaiting a resident mission agent.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.01.1888 Proper date: 26.01.1888 Description An account of the resource The Middle-School suffered a three-week holiday immediately after the riots of February. The soholars returned in rather a rebellious spirit - Sitzler reckons because two holidays close together had reminded them that idleness is rather nice. Then when the force under Captains Brenan and Lethbridge arrived and it seemed there might be fighting the scholars again asked to be allowed to go away under their own auspices to Akwapim, since they feared that if war came it might take the form of guerilla attacks on Christians. Sitzer however kept them at work threatening them with dismissal if they did go away. The Middle School started the year with 18 pupils. Two were dismissed early in the year. Three graduated at the end of the school year, two of whom sent to the Pastor's Seminary at Akropong, while the third is still living in the heathen town in Begoro. They received 4 new pupils. A very gifted pupil had to be dismissed in the latter part of the year for being pledged to marry a heathen girl - all the local people believed he had ‘fallen’ also. However they made arrangements for him to attend the school privately so that they will be a position to take him back easily if circumstances alter. Another disappointment was John Ayebinim who was warned that laziness would keep him out of Akropong, but he resolved to be lazy, asked for a reference so that he could go to the coast and work for a trader, and when he was refused this (Mohr told him he would go under bodily and physically on the Coast) - has simp1y gone to live in Begoro town. He also communicates the biography of Opuni, a slave child, graduate of the Kibi School, who in 1883 had joined the Middle School, but was so little gifted that he had been dismissed, eventually came to the Begoro Mission House as a servant. His health and mental powers deteriorated fast, however, and he died on Christmas evening 1887. The Kibi School was gradually gathered together in Begoro, reaching 20 pupils - half the size of the earlier school. Heathen parents, of course, became more unwilling to see their sons in school. They ended the year with 28. The Kibi School will be returned to Kibi now that the community is back in residence. He was pleased to learn, when Imm. Boakye's son Agyei was seriously ill in Akropong, the Kibi School pupils asked for him to be remembered in their prayer hour by the teacher who was leading the prayers. (There is a table of information on the pupils at the end of the report.)

The Christians of the Kibi district suffered 38 deaths. Ofori explains this as following from the unaccustomed climates in the places to which they fled. When the Christians were taken back to Kibi the other Akim chiefs did not support the Queeen Mother in wanting their exclusion from Kibi.

On returning to Anyinam he found that many of the Christians had scattered, specifically naming Nkwatia, Agogo and Abokbbi as places to which he had lost members. Anoba's property at least was not damaged – it was taken by some friends of his in Anyinam towns into their house to be looked after. The Asunafo congregation, with only one exception, ran away to Kwahu. While there the property of one man was destroyed (Jos. Gyammera), and much damage was done to the chapel by the Abomosu people - they broke pulpit, door, windows, benches, altar and lamps. Abomosu – he had heard that some of the Christians destroyed their own houses in the breaking up of the Christian village. One Christian woman hung herself in Akropong during the persecutions.

Reports a trip around the West Akim outstations. He writes that some groups of Christians have returned to their homes, others have gathered together and are living as communities. Even those in their homes, however, are living with some worry and will do until the situation in Kibi has been clarified. Meantime no Okyenhene has yet been chosen. Rösler offers as explanations that the chiefs are not united in their choice, and that a petition has recently gone to the coast from Ata's brother, the Queen Mother, and Okyerewa, that if Christians are going to be allowed to live again in Akim they will simply not choose a new Okyenhene. Rösler lists Apedwa, Apapam, Banso and Tete as supporting the petition. Nevertheless at last Acting Governor White has called the Christians to Accra to negotiate about compensation and then to have them conducted back to Kibi. The Christians of Fankyeneko-Osino—Abompe-Dwenase have all been excluded because after Ata was taken to the case they were all intimidated. They have mostly already asked for re-acceptance. Anyinam - the greater part of the community fled to the coast where they have re-settled. A smaller group went off into Kwahu, and have now returned. Another small group, the native Anyinams among the Christians were forced to swear that they would leave the Christian quarter. A presbyter has lost his wife who was a pawn sent by a Kwahu man to Anyinam in return for credit, had then been emancipated and was now sold off to Kwahu by her former master. Lethbridge had sent two Hausas after her, but they were laughed at in Kwahu they had no legal standing. The man himself went, and the new master has promised to free the woman if he is paid £6. The children did not want to let their father go away again.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.10.1887 Proper date: 25.10.1887 Description An account of the resource The report is also to be found in Heidenbote 1888 pp.9-11. Reports that it is three weeks since they heard news that the Christians were to return to Kibi, but Lethhridge is involved on a journey via Akyeaae to Asuum and this is delaying developments. The Wankyi chief had had to be arrested in the centre of Klbi, in the face of his supporters, oath that they would fight if that happened. Mohr is uncertain if, in the general reckoning - the Asuum ones will be settled, but he hopes so. Mohr had had to pay 334 Marks on behalf of Christians to bring the case to court, the £50 fine for contumacious conduct following the non-appearance of the accused in the Supreme Court has paid, and several messengers have been to the village to present the Supreme Court's formally. In fact since the Chief Justice wants to make an example, since recently people from Awenare and Apapam have refused to attend the court as well. Mohr also reports that in conversations with Rottmann at the end of September and the beginning of October Acting Governor White had given him permission to reside in Begoro and go anywhere but not Kibi. Mohr regards this as adequate permission for the moment - one cannot expect White to contradict the orders of Governor Griffith entirely. He reports consternation in the royal family that the Christians are returning to Kibi after all. Ampofowa, Ata’s mother, and her son Kwasi Kuma both wanted to leave Kibi as soon as the news broke, but were prevented by the other chiefs. They wanted to go to Banso. The chiefs are still not united on the choice of Kwasi Kuma. However, since his mother has the stool property and will not let it go the poor nephew Dante has little hope. 'He has not the means to keep up a show’ which is certainly expected from an African prince. Anyway he could hardly be independent of the influence of his grandmother Ampofoma and his uncle. Rösler is waiting the signal to go to Kibi, in Asiakwa, and other enployees are in Asiakwa and Asafo. Added to the printed part of his report about his dealings in Asiakwa is a half—paragraph about an elder. He had already been deprived of his office once by Huppenbauer in 1885. He had been maintained in office by the community however, partly because they feared him, and partly because, as a man of means, he had so many of them in his pocket. There were two other sturdy Christians appointed presbyters, and there was constant battle. However Mohr has taken away his office again because he has just married one of his grown up daughters to a heathen. Unfortunately it often happens that a community will chose a man of a 'noble' family as an elder, rather than the most capable.

In the unpublished section of the report Eisenschmid says that groups of Christians were waiting on the Kukurantumi-Kibi road at Asafo and Akoko. At the end if his report of his proceedings on 3rd November, Eisenschmid cites one of the arguments with which he had endeavoured to persuade the Christians to leave Kibi as being (following the exact point at which Ampofowa had broken off negotiations) that the English now had to act out of honour, this giving assurance of action. There is a copy of the Proclamation made at Kibi at No 97.
