children of CONRAD VOGT and LYDIA KIDERLE
(Sect. 5U, Lot/Grave 720, Row 12)
Margretta Vogt was born in Burtenbach, Bavaria, in the spring of 1850. Margretta married John A. Wohlfelder around 1871, and gave birth to six children; only two of them (Anna and Rose) were still alive in 1900. Before emigrating, the Wohlfelders lived in Harburg, the small Bavarian town on the Woernitz River which is the home of a nine-hundred year old castle.
John Wohlfelder probably emigrated first, followed by Anna in August 1892 and Margretta and daughter Rose in November. Margretta and Rose sailed aboard the Rhaetia in 1892, departing Hamburg on Nov. 13 and arriving in New York on the 28th. They had one piece of luggage between them. Presumably because she was travelling with nine-year-old Rose, Margretta occupied a cabin (kajüte), as opposed to travelling by the much-cheaper steerage (zwischendeck), as had Anna three months earlier.

As of 1900, Margretta and John ran a boarding house at 7 17th St. in Wheeling, West Virginia, renting to a family of native-born railroad workers; by 1910, they'd moved up the block to 52 17th St., about half a mile from the Ohio River. They eventually moved to Cincinnati, where daughter Anna lived with her husband, Fred Scheuerle.
Margretta died in her sleep (of a coronary), nine days after her husband John. As of 2006, the descendants of her father, Konrad Vogt, still live in the house in Burtenbach in which she was born (according to Jean Eisenbeis, her great-granddaughter).
