Olivia S. (Hall) Green, daughter of Benajah and Catherine Buckley Hall, was born in Scott, Cortland County N.Y., November 18, 1829 and died in Hornell, N.Y., May 4, 1926.
When she was a child she came to Alfred, where she has spent most of her life of nearly five score years.
On Christmas day, 1847, she was married to William H. Green of Alfred, and they lived for many years in East Valley. To them were born two children" Russell P. Green of Angelica, and Harriet A. Green Wamsley. Her husband,, William H. Green,
died in 1882
"Aunt Olivia" was one of six brothers and sisters, and the last to survive. When thirteen years of age, she united with
the Second Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church and was baptized by Rev. James H. Cochran in the stream near the old meeting house, one mile above Alfred Station. When the Andover Seventh-Day Baptist Church organized in 1871, she was one of the forty-three constituent members. Of the Andover Church she has remained a member, and was always interested in its work. She loved the Bible and the fellowship of the church.
Though obliged to go with a crutch, she kept her own home until about fifteen years ago, when she went to live with nieces, who have given her loving care during her latter days.
For one of her age her physical and mental strength was remarkably preserved until the last fatal attack of bronchial
pneumonia.
At her request the farewell services were conducted by her great-nephew and pastor, Walter L. Greene, using the Scripture and text of her own selection from Psalm 23, "He leadeth me." Interment was in the family plot in East Valley.
