Dr. Barnard built the first Chicago elevated railroad; in connection with the B. & O.

Her first story was written in the summer of 1904, and sold to the Woman's Home Companion. Thereafter, she wrote much. Besides her contributions to the leading magazines for many years, she wrote several books. Some of Delano's photoplays that were produced were filmed by the Famous Players Film Company, featuring Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Hazel Dawn, and Marie Doro.[1]

Delano was a member of the Southern Society of the Oranges, the Authors' League of America, and the Vigilantes, the latter an association of authors and artists.[1]
