Marriage Notes for RANDOLPH BERKELEY and CAROLINE PHILLIPS:
"CAPTAIN BERKELEY WEDS.
 SHEPHERDSTOWN, W VA, Sept. 12, 1906.--One of the most brilliant weddings ever witnessed in Shepherdstown
occurred to-night, when Capt. Randolph Carter Berkeley, of the United States Marine Corps, and Miss Carrie Phillips,
only daughter of Pay Inspector and Mrs J S Phillips, were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev
C E A
Marshall, in Trinity Episcopal Church, which was filled with a large and fashionable assemblage.
The best man was Capt. A E Harding, aid to the President, and the ushers were: Dr Richard Blackburn, of Washington;
Lieut. Rus>sell B Putnam, Capt. Henry Davis, Paymaster W H Doughtery and Paymaster D M Addison, of the navy, and
Messrs. William Muzzey and Lawrence Lee and David Leman, of this place. The maid of honor was Miss Harriet
Tilghman, of Norfolk, Va; and the bridesmaids were Misses Janet Berkeley, of Staunton, Va; L E Hanna, of Washington;
Marie Muzzey, of Philadelphia; N C Williams, L Turner, E Butler, E L Potts and Virginia Van S Reinhart, of Shepherdstown.
The ribbon-bearers were Grace Darling Chapline and Joseph A Chapline. The maid of honor was gowned in blue radium silk
, while the bridesmaids wore handsome dresses of white organdie and lace over blue taffeta. The bride wore a beautiful
gown of white satin, with duchesse and rose point lace, with bridal veil, and carried Bride roses, as did her attendants.
The ushers in the military service wore the full-dressed uniforms of their respective corps, the others wearing dress suits.
The scene as the bridal party entered the church and grouped around the chancel was strikingly beautiful.
The processional music was the wedding march from 'Lohengrin,' while the recessional was Mendelssohn's "Wedding March."
The bride was given in marriage by her uncle, Pay Director Mitchell McDonald, of the United States Navy. Her father,
Pay Inspector Phillips was unable to attend the wedding because of his duties as a special representative of the State
Department at Monte Christi, Santo Domingo, the present revolution in that country rendering it imperative that he should
be at his post there.
Immediately after the wedding a reception was held at the home of the bride. Thompson's Orchestra, of Martinsburg,
rendered music during the evening, and later the younger set were entertained at dancing. The bridal party left for a
trip East.
This marriage unites two of the oldest families of Virginia. The bride's ancestors came to Virginia in 1607 and 1610
and the groom's in 1618, all having settled at Jamestown. Captain Berkeley is a son of the late Dr Charles Berkeley
and his wife, Lovie Gilkeson, of Staunton, and a grandson of Dr Edmund Berkeley and his wife, Mary Randolph
Spotswood Brooke, the daughter of Judge Francis T Brooke and his wife, who was a direct descendant of Governor
Spottswood, famous 'Knight of the Golden Horseshoe.' The bride is a granddaughter of the late Congressman William A
Phillips, of Kansas, and his wife, Margaret Caraway Stewart Spillman, of Tennessee. On her mother's side she is a
daughter of the late Judge Joseph A Chapline, of Shepherdstown, whose ancestors were among the earliest settlers
in this section.
Among the out-of-town guests attending the wedding were the Misses Berkeley, of Staunton, Va; Miss Ann
Iglehart, of Annapolis, Md; Solicitor Edwin Phillips Hanna, the Misses Hanna, Miss Frances Cox and Mrs C Piquette
Mitchel, of Washington, and Mrs Robert Gibson, of Philadelphia."
