"Dr. CHARLES R. BILES

Dr. Charles R. Biles, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Biles, of Brick Hill, died last Sunday evening, at the home of his parents, aged 38 years. Last Fall he was kicked in the head by a cow he was treating, causing a cyst to form on the brain. He underwent an operation by a Philadelphia surgeon, but the relief afforded was only temporary. He was compelled to relinquish his duties as veterinary surgeon, and had been staying with his parents. Dr. Biles was a graduate of the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania, and for a number of years followed his profession at Elkton, and he was also a successful auctioneer. He is survived by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Landreth and Mrs. Helen Weldin (sic Weldon), of Philadelphia, and Ernest Biles, at home. A wife and child, living in Annapolis also survive him.
The funeral was held Thursday with services at the home of his parents, and interment at Sharp's Cemetery."

BILES-FELDMEYER

In the presence of a host of admiring friends, who filled the auditorium of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Annapolis, on Wednesday afternoon, Miss Maude Ames Feldmeyer, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Feldmeyer, became the bride of Dr. Charles Ross Biles, Jr., of Elkton, Md., son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Biles, of Fair Hill, Cecil county.

The ceremony was performed by the pastor, Rev. George W. Miller, D.D. The church was beautifully decorated with potted palms, ferns, holly and cedar. A large arch of holly spanned the chancel and an arch of evergreen spanned either side. Professor Zimmerman, bandmaster at the Naval Academy, presided at the organ and played a choice musical program, preceding the ceremony. As the bridal party entered, Professor Zimmermann played the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, during the ceremony he played "Oh, Promise Me," and as a recessional Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

The ushers were John S. Strahorn, Esq., a prominent attorney of Elkton, and a graduate of St. John's; Mr. Ernest Biles, brother of the groom; Professor Henry R. Wallis, superintendent of Public Education in Anne Arundel county; Mr. Charles Blake, of Elkton. A pretty feature of the wedding was the entrance, just before the bridal party, of maids and matron of honor, the best friends of the bride, who were gowned in blue and acted in the capacity of honorary bridesmaids. They occupied the middle aisle seat in front of the chancel and were the following: Miss Helen Feldmeyer, the bride's youngest sister; Miss Nellie Ennis, Miss Esther White, Miss Aimee Brown, of Baltimore; Miss Helen Biles, of Fair Hill, Cecil county; Miss Ethel Vansant and Mrs. J. S. Strahorn, as matron of honor. Mrs. Strahorn wore her wedding gown, a handsome lace robe, with blue ribbons to carry out the color effect of the honorary bridesmaids.

Garlands of evergreen, instead of ribbons were used to seperate the seats reserved for the immediate families and friends. The bride entered with her father, who gave her away, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. J. Norris Sentman, of Philadelphia. The bride's only attendant was the maid of honor, her sister, Miss Mary Edna Feldmeyer. The bride, who is blonde wore a handsome gown of white liberty satin made princess with demi train, and trimmed in Irish point lace. She wore a tulle veil to the end of her train, held in the hair with a single white rose and carried a bouquet of Bride roses, tied with white tulle. The maid of honor wore a handsome gown of pale blue liberty silk, with light blue hat with blue tips, and carried an armful of red roses. The ceremony was that of the Methodist Episcopal Church with the ring service.

Dr. and Mrs. Biles left on the 3:30 train for a wedding trip North and upon their return will reside in Elkton, where the doctor is engaged in the practice of his profession. The bride's going-away gown was a gray traveling suit. A number of her young friends were at the station and showered the young couple with rice. The bride was the recipient of over a hundred costly and beautiful presents, including six checks for good sums, many pieces of cut glass and silver, besides linen and household furnishings, bric-a-brac, etc.

The bride is a graduate of the Annapolis High School, Class of 1900, and is a well-known vocalist, being a soprana soloist of merit. In losing her, Annapolis loses one of its sweetest singers, for her voice has entertained both church congregations and musicales on various occasions. The groom is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Class of 1906, and also a graduate of Goldey College, of Wilmington. He is popular with the younger set and has many friends, who congratulate him on having won an Annapolis bride.

Some of those present from out of town were, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Biles, Cecil County, Mrs. C. P. Landreth, Philadelphia; Miss Helen Biles, Mr. Ernest Biles, Dr. and Mrs. Martein, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Omar D. Crothers, Elkton; Mr. and Mrs. John S. Strahorn, Elkton; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, Messrs. John and Harry Tarbert, all of Baltimore; Dr. Elliot Hutchins of Barstow; Midshipman R. A. Burford, U.S.S. New Jersey; Mr. and Mrs. Ross Biles and daughters Blanche and Katherine, of Blue Ball, Cecil county; the Misses Brokaw, of Providence, R.I. (sic Cecil Co.); Mr. Jesse Cameron, Mr. Clifford Robertson, of Rising Sun, Dr. I. Lentz, Philadelphia; Dr. Francis Falls, of Port Deposit; Miss Bessie Goldman , of Govans, Baltimore."
