The Nkwatia land purchase went through smoothly in the end - the key stratagem on the part of the missionaries seems to have been to send Kwabi to a meeting of all the Kwahu chiefs and ask them the meaning of their promise at the beginning of Basel Mission work in Kwahu that they could settle where they liked. The first reply was a request to make an exception of the meeting place of the chiefs. The missionaries responded by replying that they were commanded to preach everywhere including Nkwatia. Eventually a new site was agreed on, and bought at 18 Thaler. Ayiripe, Ramseyer thinks was a relative of the Okyenhene, which helps to explain the hostility he showed at the time of the Akim persecutions. In Obo Ramseyer had to visit the town 6 times before the settling of the mission land was really in hand. The piece of land which had long ago been bought belonged to Afari, the chief of Akwasiho (and one of the mild complication at this stage was that this man was in Krakye at the time of the further development of the purchase). Four years ago they had effectively been driven off the land by the threats of the chief of Tweneduruase and his people, who claimed it was too near the chief's fetish 'Sasabi' - a piece of rock lying nearby. The chief of Pepease whose subordinate the Twenduruase chief was could not persuade him to change his mind and indeed was angrily driven away when he tried to intervene, and the Kwahuhene told the missionaries there was nothing he could do. Ramseyer remarks, that all would have been easy had they been in the Protectorate. This year when they installed Catechist Mensah the chief of Tweneduruase welcomed him, but said that his people stood firm on the idea that the mission land was too close to Sasabi. The missionaries then said that as men of peace they would be interested to know how far away from Sasabi they would have to be to satisfy the Tweneduruase people. And they found that they would only lose the use of 1/8 of the land. At this point they ran into complications from the Obo side. Firstly the Obo chief claimed that the man who sold the land had not been the proper owner - instead an absent under-chief of his was the man from whom the land ought to have been bought. Secondly in Ramseyer’s absence after this was cleared up (by a compromise consisting of the Obo chief's dropping this scruple, and the mission promising to buy some land from him to extend the station), the Obo people inserted in the purchase agreement a prohibition against the taboo plants and animals on the mission land. The mission seems to have won a clear victory over this as wells (How, is not too clear unless one assumes that the Obo chief quite badly wanted a mission presence, because Ramseyer’s only resource on both occasions except his wrath against being messed around was that when he threatened to withdraw the catechist if the points were not satisfactorily cleared up he achieved fairly quick results). The chiefs' names were Darefo in Tweneduruase, Afari from Akwasiho, and Asiama in Obo.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.02.1888 Proper date: 13.02.1888 Description An account of the resource Abetifi at the beginning of the year they had to exclude from the station four people including Johannes Wiredu who had earlier been sent away from the Bekoro Middle School because of laziness, and Rosina Gyemfa, the wife of, the late elder Nathaniel Beko. The former for sexual irregularities, the latter for approaching a fetish in her home town Mpraeso, though she had never been a satisfactory member of the community, except perhaps when she was treating her husband harshly (one piece of circumstantial evidence of her use of fetishes was the discovery of three hidden pots in her house - this was taken to mean that she had hoped that they would be means to protect her). The other two excluded were men -they hoped by this to have purged the station of the wicked elements. The school is attracting little support - the scholars are teased for sitting with their books for a mere 2 marks a month, though there are some heathens who see more what the school is for, and what it is aiming at. Concerning the married life of the community, the question of 'ayefare' has come up due to the influence of the Akim Christians who told the Abetifi Christians that in Akim if a heathen wife committed adultery, the Christian husband sought ayefare. Ramseyer (as Schmid had to in the previous year) explains that this cannot be, and that although a weapon of defence against the habits of their heathen wives, the best weapons are love by which she realises what a stroke of luck it is to marry a Christian and prayer. They are trying to repair the problem of the lack of suitable girls for marriage by starting a school for small children on the station to which some heathens are sending their daughter. During the year 4 adults have been baptised - one of them the 'quiet and friendly' wife of the elder Moses, another a 'friendly’ and ‘industrious’ carpenter - his industry is greatly to be prized. (They have now 7 carpenters in the community). In addition one child has been baptised, and 4 boys from the school. Evaluating the latter point Ramseyer says that although there have been scholars who have been baptised and are now lost and forgotten, nevertheless 'a good number' of the members of the community are young married men who were baptised while at the boarding school. 2 other members of the community were re-accepted after being excluded from Communion for 2 years. Ramseyer also thinks there has been a step forward in the atmosphere of the community, evidencing partly better attendance at weekday services, and the fact that again more Christians have moved onto the mission land (a feature of the exclusion of Rosina Gyemfa was that she thereby lost the use of her farm on mission land). Outstations. The Nkwatia conflict was regarded as Atia Yaw versus God. In Nkwatia at the end of the year 4 adults were baptised – although the Nkwatia people were, on the whole, out on their farms, Ayiripe and his court were present. One was a 22 year old man, brother of one of the Christians, another an elderly mother, who received the name Hanna. She was able to learn little from the baptismal instruction, and there was some doubt as to whether she should be baptised, but Ramseyer writes that on her examination she said she wanted to be holy and only belong to Jesus and that she didn't want to have anything more to do with fetishes which were always troubling her and doing nothing for her. The other two were youths from Aduammoa. One of them is actually from Kumasi. In addition 2 Christian children were baptised, and the community was also strengthened by the reception of one Peter Asare, his wife, his mother, and a child. He had been driven from Nkwatia by the persecutions of the priest of Atia Yaw, fled to Anyinam, and was baptised there. Asare is a hunter. In Obo things are not progressing. Ramseyer reports that the greater number of the Obo people in fact spend 10 months of the year in their farms at the foot of the scarp. Only in the Adae festival are large numbers present. Nevertheless three youths have attached themselves to Mensah, and are receiving instruction from him and helping him to build his house. Mpraeso remains stony ground - 4 adults and 2 children were baptised in the course of the year, but one youth had to be excluded, and Christians moved away (including two to Nkwatia) so the total increase was only one. Nevertheless two elderly men have come into the catechumenate late in the year. In Bepong in August 2 men, three women, and a boy who later came into the Abetifi Boarding School were baptised, and they have 5 more attending baptismal instruction. The school has not been very successful - there are 4-6 pupils. In Bukuruwa 2 men of mature age are taking baptismal instruction. Since Kwahu is an area with a small compass they have not only been able to care for the progress of the outstations by frequent visits - they have had 5 conferences for all the Christians of Kwahu in the course of the year.

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: 10.04.1888 Proper date: 10.04.1888 Description An account of the resource Reporting varying degrees of preparedness for the arrival of a teacher in Krepe country: - Botoku – the chief undecided, apparently worried about the impact of a school on the fetishes - Tutunya - they had set aside a place already cleaned for the school, and earmarked a house for the teacher - Anvoi - the place for the school was not yet cleaned, though they had earmarked a house for the teacher In Nkonya, large crowds of people listened attentively to their preaching for a whole hour. In Wurupon there was as an even bigger crowd. The general question was why had the mission not yet settled someone among them. Asante remarks in connection with Nkonya that Assistant Catechist Immanuel Boakye is exceptionally good at preaching to the heathen – he was a real heathen, and now is a sturdy Christian, and can speak from heart to heart out of his own experience. From Nkonya they went along the caravan route to Krakye. On the day they reached Akrosso they were able to speak with individuals on the road, but only in a Tepa village (good reception and gift of provisions for the journey) were they able to preach to a crowd. In Akrosso they preached - Asante evidently felt the people had very little understanding of Christianity, preached on 'the biblical history' (a repeated theme in the reports by which is probably meant the story of the Fall and the Redemption), but 'one could see that the people did not grasp it'. They preached to a friendly reception in Apaso, and in two villages on the Oti, one large and one small, both called Ahenkro. In Krakye they could not raise an audience in the Mohammedan quarter, but in Krakye proper the chief and elders came in response to the bell. They both preached to an attentive audience, indeed next day - Asante reports there were conversations about the sermons, and the wish expressed(by ordinary people presumably) that a mission agent should be stationed there. He compares their reception with that he received in 1878. A Christian who was in Krakye recently says that ‘the preaching of the gospel on that side of the Volta has made Dente ill, and he will die soon'. There was smallpox in Krakye. Boakye's sermons was based on Isaiah 11.6, comparing Asante to the leopard and the wolf, and their erstwhile subjects with the lamb. Now they are all living together in peace, and the Word of the Lord has been fulfilled. Therefore the Krakye people should give up Dente and worship God. In Buem, except in one fetish village, they were everywhere received with great friendliness, attentively listened to, and asked when mission agents were coming to Buem. In Borada (Asante recalls the events of 1882 when he began to speak against Dente) the chief himself criticised Dente. They visited lmost all the Buem towns and villages. Summing up the trip Asante describes everywhere eagerness to receive the Mission: indeed in Nkonya a positive impatience, because they have been promising to come for so long. ‘I do not think that this general longing for the Word comes from an inner conviction, but much more because they are tired with their old religion and want a new one - or indeed because they want elucidation.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.05.1888 Proper date: 28.05.1888 Description An account of the resource The greater proportion of the people he judges are pawned - he met one man who has been pawned to three masters for debts of 40, 50, and 100 shillings respectively, and works for each on certain days of the week - he has hardly any time for himself. Most of the report is taken up with information on the war which has broken out in the Ho district between two small tribes the Maze and Tafiewe, and the Peki tribes, supported by Anum and Boso. Miller gives as the background the fact that the Maze and Tafiewe fought with the Asantes against Peki in 1869 - after the war the late Peki king invited both tribes to a peace meeting at which 40 of them were surprised and murdered. The revenge came recently when the Mazes and Tafiewe fell on a Peki village and carried out a cruel slaughter (Müller writes about children being killed in oil-pits) Following this the Peki army was called together (the Anums and Bosos went too, including the Christians) but were eventually persuaded to return home by an English officer called Dalrymple backed by a force of 65 Hausas. Dalrymple then sought to negotiate with the hostile tribes and after making contact with them through the agency of ‘neutral persons' entered their territory, and sought out these guilty of the crime. They were however, ambushed on the way back with the prisoners, and Dalrymple, clubbed to death. The Hausas lost 7, and 3 were wounded. The Peki king is going to war again, and the Anums and Bosos will join him, but since they have not been called by the English Government Müller has held the Christians back from going, for he feels that this is an expedition in pursuit of robbery and plunder. The Anum king is remaining at home, and is concerned to defend his territories from a missionary in Ho (Matthäus Seeger) Müller hears that 3 English Officers and 230 men are expected in Ho. He regrets that the Christians went out on what he describes as the hunt for slaves, though he also admits that the Mazes have a very unsavoury reputation which he evidently half credits.

After a time, apparently the war became simply a matter of finding the Tafiewes- - they have now sued for peace, and Müller reports that they have been fined £300, an extremely large sum for a people almost decimated. Müller is clearly troubled about the Christians in Anum and Boso. When they first went out on the Tafiewe-Maze War there was great strife as to which body of Christians should follow the other into the body of soldiers behind one of the chiefs. They apparently paid no attention to the advice of the two mission agents who went with them, Boakye and Afari. This reflected, Müller reckons, the old conflict for supremacy between Boso and Anum. Furthermore one of the leaders is incensed that the mission is setting out to work further in the interior - first he says they should have set up boarding schools in Anum/Boso, so that their children did not have to go to Akwapim for the higher schools. The building is going ahead apparently much more easily than in the late 1860s when Müller was last in Anum. The sawyers are working without any question of debts to be paid etc., and need little supervision. There are many people prepared to work - he is limited in employing people by the number of tools he has. He regrets wasting the trees he is having cut down, would help many families in need in Europe. In the second half of 1888 Heinrich Lieb was working in Anum as a ‘Baubruder’ (builder).
