Delgado was born on 20 August 1853 in Córdoba, Veracruz, to Pedro Delgado and María de Jesús Sáinz.[3] His parents were religious conservatives and moved the family to Orizaba after increasing liberal sentiment in Córdoba.[3] Delgado earned a degree in education from the Colegio Nacional de Orizaba, where he subsequently taught literature and history.[3]

Delgado was invited by José López Portillo y Rojas, the Governor of Jalisco, to serve as director of the state's department of education, though his arthritis forced him to return to Orizaba shortly afterward.[3] He died on 20 May 1914, having never married.[3]
