Euphany married Napoleon B. Lightfoot, son of John Lightfoot and Atha Ann Walters, on 5 August 1887 in , Porter County, IN.¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ (Napoleon B. Lightfoot was born on 1 January 1854 in Kouts, IN,³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁹ ¹⁰ died on 31 October 1930 in Valparaiso, IN ¹⁰ and was buried on 3 November 1930 in Hebron, IN ¹⁰.)

NOTE - They indicated that they had been married for 25 years but about 13 would be the correct number. Perhaps both Napoleon was thinking about his 1st marriage and Euphany also if she were previously married. But a previous marriage for her is unknown especially when her son, Fredrick, has the same surname as Euphany's supposed maided name. Later, Euphany indicated on the 1910 census that she had been married only once so it appears that the child, Fredrick Brody, was born to her out of wedlock.
