George Francis Tyson was an 1898 graduate of the National Medical University of Chicago. He set up practice in Evanston, Illinois and for many years was considered one of the most eligible bachelors in Cook county, but finally the tide turned. The Lake Shore News (Wilmette, Illinois), on the front page of the issue of 1 Jan 1914 reported:

As the culmination of a pretty romance which started when Miss Lulu Woodman, a nurse of Janesville, Wisconsin, was called by Dr. George F. Tyson of Evanston about a year ago to nurse a case. Dr. Tyson and Miss Woodman were married at the latter's home in Janesville, Christmas eve. They will reside in Evanston.

Different versions are given of the physician nurse romance. Some claim that because of Mrs. Tyson's beauty, it was a case of love at first sight and that it took but a short time for the spark of love to be fanned into a flame of considerable proportions. Others declare that the courtship between the two ripened into a love match when the well-known physician began to note the many charming qualities of Miss Woodman. At any rate they were married Christmas eve and after a short trip will return to Evanston to reside.

Dr. Tyson met his bride just about a year ago when he called her from Chicago to take charge of Raymond Bristow, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bristow, 1138 Sherman avenue, who was suffering with a serious illness. Due to the tender care given by Miss Woodman, the Bristow child recovered. Then she nursed several cases for Dr. Tyson.
