Six months after her divorce, on January 18, 1935, Anna married former journalist John Boettiger, now assistant to Will Hays head of the Motion Picture Producers Association. John had also just divorced his wife. John's "...former wife and two children reside in Glencoe, a suburb of Chicago."

John took a leave of absence from his position in Seattle to become an Army captain, and left the editorial direction of the paper in his wife's hands.
