==Biography==
Eaton was clergyman, journalist, U.S. congressman and a signatory to original United Nations Charter. He was born on a farm near Pugwash, Nova Scotia. The son of Stephen Eaton, a shipbuilder and farmer, and Mary Desiah (Parker) Eaton, he attended school locally and worked on his father's farm. From 1884 to 1886, he attended school in Amherst, Nova Scotia, where he was baptized and chose to become a Baptist minister. In 1890, he received a B.A. from Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Three years later he graduated with the B.D. from Newton Theological Institution, Newton Centre, Massachusetts, and was ordained a Baptist minister. In 1893, he served as a pastor at the First Baptist Church of Natick, Massachusetts. At Natick, he met Mary Winifred Parlin, daughter of local merchant and Civil War veteran William D. Parlin〔("National Park Service, Soldier Details, William D. Parlin ), Accessed March 20, 2015〕 and Mary Brown.〔 They were married June 26, 1895 and had six children. Also in 1895, he became a citizen of the United States and was named pastor at a Bloor Street church in Toronto. He received the M.A. from McMaster University in Toronto in 1896, was awarded a D.D. by Baylor University in 1899 and Acadia University in 1907, and an LL.D. from McMaster University in 1916.〔〔
In 1924, Eaton was elected as a Republican from New Jersey to the 69th U.S. Congress and to the thirteen succeeding Congresses, serving until 1952. He was a steadfast opponent of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.〔(Obituary ), ''Time (magazine)'', February 2, 1953. Accessed September 9, 2007.〕〔("Clouts from Clergymen" ), ''Time (magazine)'', October 28, 1935. Accessed September 9, 2007.〕 However, his ability to work well with both Republicans and Democrats would prompt presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman to frequently invite "Doc" Eaton, as he was sometimes known, to the White House as an informal advisor.〔Memoirs By Harry S. Truman: 1945 Year of Decisions. Garden City, New York: Doubleday (1955).〕
On June 26, 1945, appointed by Roosevelt, Eaton was one of the signers of the original United Nations Charter, the international organization’s foundational treaty, in San Francisco, California.〔〔("Watchung was represented at signing of UN Charter by Charles Eaton, a former dairy farmer, clergyman and Congressman" ), ''nj.com'', May 4, 2010. Accessed May 22, 2014〕 In 1947 he became chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs. With a Democratic president, Harry S. Truman and a Republican Congress, and with the influence of economic aid in foreign policy, the chairmanship was a powerful post. Eaton's leadership was at times strongly challenged by the neo-isolationist group in the House, but he achieved the passage of every piece of legislation that he sponsored, including continuation of United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), a program of aid to Greece and Turkey (the Truman Doctrine), and the Marshall Plan. The opposition to these programs centered in the House and Eaton was their chief defender. The passage of the Marshall Plan was a high point in Eaton's political career. President Harry S. Truman gave testimony in his memoirs to Eaton for his bipartisan support of American foreign policy.〔 Twenty days after his retirement from Congress, Eaton died in Washington, D.C. and was interred in Hillside Cemetery in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.
