Wilhelm Guth (1888-1980), from Zeiskam in the Rhineland Palatinate, studied commerce before joining the Leipzig Mission as a pastor. He served in Gonja from 1911 to 1913 and from 1927 to 1938. He left a large number of photographs, mostly taken by himself but including some by members of his family or fellow missionaries. Paul Rother (1878-1956), from Burkhardsdorf near Chemnitz, was a missionary and later pastor of the Leipzig Mission. From 1902 to 1904 he served in Shigatini. Until the First World War he worked in Gonja, a station which he founded together with Karl Luckin in 1904. From 1925 to 1939 he was again in East Africa, in 1926 he started to train people as teachers in Marangu.
