An article from the San Francisco Examiner, 12 Jun 1922 edition:

“The romance dates back to the days of the war when a young ambulance driver, wounded in France, was carried into U.S. Evacuation Hospital No. 18 and placed in the ward of a pretty California nurse.

“The driver was Wilfred O. Lyon. The nurse was Miss Ellingboe.

“Then the scene shifted to 1922. El Zeribah Temple, in gorgeous array, was traveling through the town of Lindsay, California, bound for the oasis of San Francisco. An ex-serviceman in the garb of a noble leaned out of a car window and gazed into the eyes of the girl who had nursed him back to health in France four years before. Again fate had brought together Wilfred O. Lyon and Miss Anna M. Ellingboe.

“The pilgrimage ended for them at the license bureau at the City Hall, and they were married shortly afterward … at the St. Matthew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 433 Dolores Street.”

She was living as Anna Ellingboe Lyon as of November of 1936.
