Notes - Biography
Serena was born in 1860. Serena Hall ... She passed away in 1936 at age 73.
From Silas Tucker Oliphant autobiography: " I met the right one on the ballroom floor where the Rev. J. O. Reavis now lives, which was known as the "Mason Hall." On entering the Mason ballroom, Jim Hall came to me and I noticed Lundy White, a friend of mine, was dancing with a girl who attracted my attention, and I turned to Jim and asked him who Lundy was dancing with, and he said she was his sister-"hacked again." I asked Lundy to make me acquainted with Miss Hall, which he did, and I asked her to dance with me the next set, which was accepted. I was in her company all the time I could be from the time I met her in the latter part of 1877 until September 1878. We were at the Bill Austin old place sitting under the old weeping willow, and there it was I asked her to be my wife. She asked for time to make me an answer as she was very young. Her father took sick and died before I saw her again. We were together often during the fall and winter of 1879, so in April of that year at her home I asked her what she thought about the question I asked her under the willow tree. She told me she hadn't thought anything about it but at this time we became engaged and were married October 16th of that year.
We began keeping house the following Christmas at the Ben Hall place, one and a half miles north of Burns. We were the parents of six children. Two died in infancy and the other four include: Leonard Oliphant, of Marietta, Ga.; Maggie Walp, deceased, of Burns; Rose Dunn of Burns, and Beulah Jones, deceased, of Burns. Eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren are living." [1]
They were married 16 Oct 1879 in Dickson, Tennessee
