Montague Chamberlain
Montague Chamberlain (April 5, 1844 – February 10, 1924) was a Canadian-American businessman, naturalist, and ethnographer.
==Biography==
Chamberlain was born in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. He spent the first few decades of his life as a bookkeeper and later manager of a grocery company in St. John. In his mid-twenties, he also became a dedicated amateur ornithologist. In 1883 he co-founded the American Ornithologists' Union, which today stakes its claim as "the oldest and largest organization in the New World devoted to the scientific study of birds." In 1888 Chamberlain became a resident member and editor for the Nuttall Ornithological Club, and a founding member of the American Ornithologists' Union. After quitting the grocery business, he became the assistant secretary of the Harvard Corporation in 1889 and the secretary of the Lawrence Scientific School in 1893.
Chamberlain was married at the age of 63, to Anna Sartoris Prout of Petersburg, Virginia. Their marriage lasted six years before Anna died.
Chamberlain died in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, in 1924. The same year, Theodore Sherman Palmer, secretary of the American Ornithologists' Union, wrote an obituary of Chamberlain in ''The Auk''. Percy Algernon Taverner later published an obituary of Chamberlain in ''Canadian Field-Naturalist''. Palmer's obituary includes a lament that Chamberlain made no direct contributions to ornithology during the last twenty years of his life.
