Eudora married her first husband, Charles Crafford, in 1898, as inferred by the 1900 U.S. Federal census for the City of Newport News, Virginia. They lived there in a rental unit with Eudora's mother and father, Eudora (Hutchins) Lumber and William Henry Lumber (bricklayer & contractor). Charles was a rigger at the Naval Shipyard in Newport News.

Per the 1910 U.S. Federal census for Portsmouth, Virginia, Charles and Eudora and their young daughter (also named Eudora) lived there on Linden Street. Eudora's nephew William Henry, Jr. (a bricklayer) was living here at this time as well.

Charles succumbed to infection in 1919, which was caused by a large steel metal plate crushing his leg at the Naval Shipyard, per his death certificate.

Eudora remarried in Wilmington, Delaware on August 27 1921 to Earl Bernard Farr. Eudora's sister, Alice (Lumber) Overman, was a witness at her wedding, per the Delaware marriage certificate.

Eudora went by the name of "Dora" as reflected on the death certificate of her first husband, Charles Crafford, and as reported on her own death certificate, which was certified in Richmond, Virginia.
