Biography
The wedding announcement between Charles and his second wife Florence Burton-Holden provides insight into his life in the Philippines:10
Wedding.
HEARTT-HOLDEN.
Word reached Brooklyn this morning of the romantic marriage of a Brooklyn girl out in the Philippines. The man who has carried off a bride from this borough is a captain of the Philippine Constabulary and a deputy governor. Not long ago he scored a remarkable record in capturing a noted outlaw. His bride, after an exciting wooing, finally made up her mind that she did not want to wed him and live in the Far East. But after he had returned to the Philippines the Brooklyn girl took a new view of it and followed him.
Miss Florence Burton that was, of recent years Mrs. Florence Burton-Holden, is the Brooklyn girl wedded so romantically. The Philippine officer is Captain Charles Edward Livingston Heartt. Mrs. Burton-Holden is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Washington Burton, who for seven years now have made their home at the Hotel St. George and are well-known old Brooklynites. They are related to the famous Burton on the Thames, England.
The ceremony took place at 9 o’clock on the evening of May 14, and was solemnized at the residence of Captain and Mrs. Ralph W. Jones, 397 Nozaieda, Manila. The Rev. Mr. Hillis of the First Presbyterian Church, Manila, officiated. There were only a few guests, and the wedding was altogether a quiet affair. Mrs. Jones served as matron of honor; Lieutenant James L. Wood of the Constabulary was best man, and Captain Jones gave the bride away. A wedding supper followed.
Mrs. Burton-Holden wore a frock of pale pink crepe de chine trimmed with duchesse lace. The wedding had a distinctive military touch, both the bride-groom and his best man being in uniform. The Lohengrin and the Mendelsohn wedding marches were played.
Captain and Mrs. Heartt are to make their home in Cotabato, Island of Mindanao. Captain Heartt is deputy governor of Depeatau, Mindanao.
The bride is an expert rifle shot and horsewoman. Her engagement to Captain Heartt was announced in November of last year, when the young Philippine officer was in New York on leave. The wedding had been arranged when the bride decided the East was to far away from her friends and family. The engagement was thereupon broken, and the captain went back to his station. But the bride that was to have been was not satisfied. She “felt the East a-callin’” and the charms of the brave soldier boy were too strong to be withstood. This sprint with her five-year-old boy, she followed the captain and the wedding of six weeks ago is the latest chapter of the romance.
