He married Luisa Aguado in La Loza, Mexico, in 1902, and they emigrated to the United States in 1913. After living twelve years in Texas, the family moved to Michigan. Around 1925, the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Felix Delgado worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He and his wife had eleven children. He died in 1955.This collection is of value to researchers interested in ethnicity, migration, and the establishment of the Mexican community in Cleveland, Ohio. A family history written by Victor Delgado includes an oral history account narrating the difficulties the family encountered in emigrating to and establishing themselves in the United States. An issue of the newspaper Un Nuevo Grito illustrates the sense of pride and unity that the Mexican community shared, and depicts ethnic prejudice they encountered. Included in this collection is an employment book, containing both financial information and brief biographical and genealogical notes concerning Felix Delgado and his family. Materials are written in English and Spanish. The collection consists of correspondence, a family history, a genealogy, identification papers, newspaper clippings, and an employment book, all of which are photocopies of the originals. These family papers document the emigration of a Mexican family to the United States in the early twentieth century. A family history includes an oral history transcription narrating the difficulties the family encountered as immigrants. The employment book contains both financial information and brief biographical and genealogical notes concerning Felix Delgado and his family. | | | | Call #: | MS 4740 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Delgado, Felix, d. 1955. | Delgado family. | Mexican Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Hispanic Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Immigrants -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
