Charles Hamlin was born on September 13, 1837, at Hampden, Maine, United States, the third son of Hannibal Hamlin and Sarah Jane (Emery) Hamlin.
Charles attended Hampden, Bridgton, and Bethel academies, and graduated from Bowdoin College with the degree of A. B. in 1857.
After reading law in his father’s office Charles practised at Orland. He became the political lieutenant of his father, and witnessed his inauguration as vice-president in March of 1861. He recorded intimate, accurate accounts of the political background during the Civil War - notes later used by his son, Charles Eugene Hamlin, in The Life and Times of Hannibal Hamlin (1899). At the outbreak of war he recruited for the Union forces; on August 21, 1862, he was commissioned major in the 18th Maine Infantry (afterwards the 16t Maine Heavy Artillery) and was soon engaged in constructing the defenses of Washington.
Entering active service in May 1863 as assistant adjutant-general of the 2nd Division, III Corps, Army of the Potomac, Hamlin took part in the severe fighting of July 2, 1863, for the possession of Round Top at Gettysburg, and was officially commended by General A. A. Humphreys. He served through the actions at Kelly’s Ford, Locust Grove, and Mine Run before his appointment as assistant to General A. P. Howe, inspector of artillery, United States Army, stationed at Harper’s Ferry and Washington, District of Columbia. He was brevetted brigadier-general of volunteers on March 13, 1865. Present at Ford’s Theatre when President Lincoln was assassinated, April 14, 1865, he immediately called out all the artillery at Camp Barry to face a rumored general uprising, and commanded the streets of the capital. Years afterward he wrote an account of this period, which was published by the Maine Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion in its War Papers (1898).
Resigning from the army September 14, 1865, Hamlin resumed the practice of law at Bangor, Maine, where he resided until his death. His law practice was largely confined to the many enterprises he initiated or promoted. A pioneer in building and loan associations, he prepared and secured the passage of the Maine law of 1887 regulating such institutions.
Hamlin became interested in woolen-mills at Pittsfield and Old Town, in Bangor banks and in insurance companies. He lectured, 1899-1911, on bankruptcy law and federal procedure at the law school of the University of Maine. He held many minor offices: city solicitor, 1867-1868; register of bankruptcy, 1867-1878; United States commissioner, 1867-1911; reporter for the Maine supreme court 1888-1905; and member of the Maine legislature, 1883-1887, being speaker of the House in 1885. He died in Bangor in his seventy-fourth year.
