He spent the first few decades of his life as a bookkeeper and later manager of a grocery company in Saint John. In his mid-twenties, he also became a dedicated amateur ornithologist. 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 St. 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.
