Sheffield Daily Independent 15 December 1902,
reporting the birth:

Yatso, the first wife of Meusa La, one of the principal warrior dancers in the Ashantee Village, gave birth to a child on Sunday morning. The child has been baptised in native fashion, and has been given the name of Kai Akosia, the word Kai meaning that she is the third daughter of the family, while Akosia signifies Sunday birth.


Sheffield Daily Independent
19 December 1902,
reporting the death:

The baby who was born to Meusa La, one of the principal warrior dancers in the Ashantee Village, and who was given the name of Kai Akosia, died yesterday. Hopes were entertained at first that the baby would live, although it was weak from birth. The circumstances will not render an inquest necessary.
