Hooker was born in 1872 in Ohio. He lived in Skagway beginning in 1897.
On June 15, 1892, Charles married Katherine “Kitty” Heltness-Jahncke.
He was working as a prescription clerk at the time. By 1902, he was working as a traveling salesman for Kreilsheimer Brothers, a whiskey distributor based in Seattle. Through this work, he met Jules Caro, who was from Juneau but living in Seattle and working for the company.
