For about twenty years a family named Reynolds lived in this neighborhood and later at Fairfax, about twenty-six miles from here. About two years ago the father of the family died, and the mother and children again moved into town. A young man was almost constantly con-stantly seen on the streets, and was known to all the townspeople as Del -bert Reynolds. Remarks were often made on his womanly voice and appearance, ap-pearance, and it was often noticed that he did riot take aptly to boyish sports and amusements, and although full of fun it was often remarked that he enjoyed en-joyed himself more in tho company of girls and children than among boys. Shortly after arriving here he entered the service of Wells, Fargo & Co. as express ex-press driver. He continued in that service ser-vice for some weeks. After that he drove a sprinkling cart on the public street. Then ho was a carriage driver and continued as such for some months. List summer it was often remarked by persons who had occasion to visit the Reynolds residence that Delbcrt was always dressed as a girl and attended to household duties when at homo. About two months ago Delbcrt went to Olema. presumably to work on a ranch. Nothing was heard of him until about a week ago, when ex-Sheriff George Mason came to town with the news that Dclbert was a girl, and had just been married to Sherbrook Hart-man Hart-man and that they were enjoying their honeymoon among the hills of Olenia. The report was found to be true. At a party given last night at Olema, Dclbert' Dcl-bert' Reynolds, or Mrs. Hartinan, was the belle of the.ball. Many of San Rafael's Ra-fael's young men were present, but she declined to recognizo those who had known her in male attire. She had worn men's clothes in order to earn more money to help support her mother's family. |
