Don Felipe Delgado
Don Felipe Delgado, son of Don Manuel Delgado and Maria de la Luz Baca, of Ortiz, was born at Cerillos, N. M., May 1, 1829. His educational advantages were of the best during his youth, and his life has been wholly spent within his native Territory. In 1853 he married Dona Benigna Garcia y Romero, of Santa Fe; they have had thirteen children, only six of whom are now living: Maria-de-la-Luz, Antonio, Manuela, Jose, Emilio, and Alfredo. Don Delgado has been in public life more or less since 1856, when he was elected treasurer of Santa Fe County. During the years 1863, 1872, and 1880 he represented Santa Fe County in the Territorial Legislature. In 1865 Gov. Connelly appointed him Territorial treasurer; but he soon resigned this office to take that of Superintendent of Indian Affairs, having been commissioned by President Lincoln. In 1867 he was reappointed Territorial treasurer by Governor Mitchell, and again in '68. In 1878 he was elected probate judge of Santa Fe County; he served his term, and in 1878 was reelected, and is now holding the same office. He is a hard worker and devotes much time to his official duties, and has proved himself worthy of the confidence reposed in him.
