Lou Dillon

She was trained initially by Charles Tanner, who drove her in many amateur events.

Ten days after this offer was made, Pierce suddenly died in San Francisco.

Billings bought Lou Dillon, and she again went into training with Millard Sanders.

With her new-found fame, she began an exhibition tour of the United States and Europe, driven by Billings and Sanders.

She was buried in Santa Barbara, near where Lou Dillon Lane is found today.
