Charles Hamilton (1828-1896) was a book, job, and card printer in Worcester, Mass. He was born in Barre, Mass. and learned his trade at the Barre Gazette. In 1844 he came to Worcester and worked for printer R.B. Hancock and Peter L. Cox & Brothers. In 1846 he left to work for the Boston Journal but returned to Worcester in 1849. He then entered a partnership with Albert Tyler and bought the print shop of Benjamin J. Dodge (Dodge remained with the shop until his death in 1903). This partnership lasted two years, ending when Hamilton bought Tyler's share in the business. Charles Hamilton was later joined in his business by his two sons, Fred Walter Hamilton and Harry W. Hamilton, who continued to run the print shop as "Charles Hamilton" until 1906. Charles Hamilton was printer for the American Antiquarian Society, 1869-1906.
