Description
Annotation translation: "Mr Subaya has been mentioned several times in the 'Heidenbote'. His death was reported in 'Heidenbote' 1885 No. 9 p. 67. The missionaries held a bible study in his house every Friday. This continues now under his son Mr Somaya. It is a substantial house with double windows and is nicely furnished. The bible studies take place in the large room on the upper floor. The Mission House stands behind the sago palm on the left of the picture and is just 5 minutes away from Subaya's house. The house on the left belongs to an Englishman." Annotation: "Herr Subayah wurde schon mehrmals im Heidenboten erwähnt. Sein Tod ist im Heidenboten 1885 No. 9, Seite 67 erzählt. Alle Freitag wurde in seinem Haus von den Missionaren eine Bibelstunde gehalten, die auch jetzt noch unter seinem Sohne, Mr. Somaya fortgeführt werden. Es ist ein stattliches Haus hat sogar Vorfenster, ist nett möblirt [sic]. Im Saal des oberen Stockes finden die Bibelstunden statt. Das Missionshaus steht hinter jener Sagopalme links im Bild und ist 5 Minuten von Subayahs Haus entfernt. Das Haus links im Bild gehört einem Engländer." Note: Signatur: "Gez. v. J. Hafner." - Cf.
