Education and career

Born on August 13, 1864, in Ellsworth, Hancock County, Maine, Peters, a nephew of John A.

Peters was elected as a Republican to the United States House of Representatives of the 63rd United States Congress, by special election, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of United States Representative Forrest Goodwin, and reelected to the four succeeding Congresses until his resignation on January 2, 1922, serving from September 9, 1913, to January 2, 1922.[1]

Federal judicial service

Peters was nominated by President Warren G. Harding on October 25, 1921, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Maine vacated by Judge Clarence Hale.[2] He was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 14, 1921, and received his commission the same day.[2] He assumed senior status on January 2, 1947.[2] His service terminated on August 1, 1953, due to his retirement.[2]
