He died in active service as captain of the Hiram Lowell, a schooner of the T.M.Nicholson fleet of Bucksport, Maine. see news story of his life and death in Bangor Daily News , Bangor, Maine, 09 12 1907 John served during the War Between the States as Mate on the U.S.S.Flambeau, the U.S.S.Chatham and the U.S.S.Laburnum. The Bucksport Herald, Friday, 09 23 1898 A RECORD BREAKER. Banker A.V.S. Woodruff arrives with 300 tons of Cod. With guns booming and colors flying from all three trucks, schooner Arthur V.S. Woodruff, the largest and best of Nicholson s spring Grand Banks fleet came up through the Narrows beforea stiff breeze Thursday forenoon and Capt. Peterson laid her alongside Nicholson s dock as if she had been a cat boat, while an admiring crowd applauded. The Woodruff fairly wallowed with her huge freight of fish. Every inch of space was crowded full and the skipper thinks he has close to 5500 quintal, some 400 or 500 quintal more than last year. The Woodruff has broken her own record and the world record as far as that goes, for the cargo which she brought is without doubt the largest ever brought from the Grand Banks into an Americanport. The schooner was manned by a fine crew and fitted out in the usual complete manner of the Bucksport fleet. She carried 26 men all told and the same number of dories. The ship s company was as follows J. F. Peterson, master Solon Peterson, mateWm. B. Perry, cook and the following fishermen Alfred Perkins, Wm. Conner, Ed S. Conner, ...J. H. Peterson.... The Woodruff sailed the 27th of June and left for home the 9th. She reports like the rest, good weather with not enough wind to make it interesting. Castine VR gives his birth as 12 14 1838.
