Charles W. Hamilton was accepted into the Methodist ministry on trial at Hartland, N.B., in 1871 and was ordained in 1875, after he had studied for a brief period at Mount Allison College. His ministry was conducted in both rural and urban churches in New Brunswick. He arrived at Boiestown in 1882 from Hillsborough, and when he left a year later he went to Sheffield. During the winter he was in Boiestown he spent time in the woods preaching in the lumber camps.

Hamilton was "a preacher mighty in his use of scripture," and he was adamant for temperance. For several years he was grand scribe of the Sons of Temperance of New Brunswick, and he was on leave from pastoral duties in 1905-06 in order to meet his commitments as lecturer and organizer for that body. He retired from the active ministry in 1911. At his death in 1914 he was survived by a son and a daughter.
