Webmaster Notes:
An unidentified person contributed the two pieces of information (below) about the life and times of Gottlieb Wagonfield, during one of the "Gatherings" at the Darrtown Hitching Post:
(1) a typed document - see "Centennial History - Page 530 " (left hand column below)
(2) a handwritten document - see "Anecdotal Information about Gottlieb Wagonfield" (right-hand column below)
Observations about the donated items:
> The text in the "Centennial History" document is written in present tense; note the phrase, "Mr. Wagonfield IS...a native of Prussia"...so, presumably we assume that Gottlieb was alive, when this record was written.
> Gottlieb's second marriage (in 1894) is mentioned, so this undated account of his life was likely written sometime around the beginning of the 20th century.
> The map of 1914 property owners displays the name of Barbara Wagonfield as the owner of 31.85 acres located on the east side of Darrtown pike, opposite the Gottlieb Wagonfield homestead. That property was known as the George Long farm, during the middle of the 20th century.
In April 2013, information surfaced regarding the stone house that, heretofore, this web page has referred to as the Wagonfield house.
To see an excerpt from a newsletter, published by the "CHAPS" group,
that confirms that William Cooley was a previous owner of the stone house, please visit the Cooley family page.

Images of the Gottlieb Wagonfield Home
Terry Genton, whose family lived in the former Gottlieb Wagonfield home during the 1960's, captured the following two images of the historic structure in July of 2009.

Gone forever...
In the summer of 2012, new owners of the property located at 4185 Hamilton-Richmond Road demolished the stone house that was once the home of the Gottlieb Wagonfield family. The following image, taken in August 2012, shows the vacant site.
New information reveals that,
before the Wagonfield era,
...the stone house, cited above,
was the home of the Cooley family
Mike Wagonfield, of Hamilton, Ohio, is a great-great-grandson of Gottlieb Wagonfield.
In 2015, Mike contributed nearly 50 images of the Wagonfield family members and friends who lived in or around Darrtown during the 20th century. A composite of Mike's contribution appears at the left.
This is another example of how one person's willingness to share artifacts enriches the lives of numerous individuals and families throughout the virtual on-line Darrtown community. THANKS, MIKE!
