"Kyimbila. Einweihung der neuen Glocke." ("Kyimbila. Consecration of a new bell."). A large group of people is standing in a semi-circle in front of a belfry. Six missionaries are standing in their midst together with four of their children. Another belfry, presumably an older one, is standing on the left-hand side. The setting is backed by trees. Imprinted on the image: "3244". 1 photo included from the box of duplicates. -- Adolf Ferdinand Stolz (1871-1917) was a mission trader of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine in Ipanya from 1898 to 1902 and in Kyimbila from 1903 to 1914.
