Charlesand his wife BERTHA LAMBERTON HAMILTON had no children. They loved all dumb animals, especially dogs. Charles raised hunting dogs and showed them all over the country. His kennel had a sunroom. Mr. Hamilton died in 1942 and his wife in 1944. She left her entire estate of $750,000 and the family mansion "for the aid and comfort of dumb animals" The Hamilton Foundation for Dumb Animals was formed with a board of trustees administering the funds. Relatives waged a long court battle to break the trust but when the New York Supreme Court ruled against them- they gave up. So today on the grounds of the former Hamilton estate in Ripley, stands the Hamilton Hospital for Animals a research and diagnostic center.
