Isabella Fernandez, Martha Meyer /May 17, 2023 by Beth Winegarner

Today in 1891, Isabella Fernandez and 16-year-old Martha Meyer were in the SF Magdalen Asylum, both for living in a boardinghouse/brothel and "consorting with hoodlums." Three such "bad associates" lived with them in the house on Fifth Street. pic.twitter.com/Cx0028bEy1
