Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Waterman was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1871.[2] After working for a time as a city attorney, Waterman was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives in 1877, and on June 28, 1887, was appointed by Governor William Larrabee to a seat on the Iowa Seventh Judicial Circuit. Waterman was reelected to the seat in November of that year, and again in 1890 and 1894.[3] In 1898, he was elected to the state supreme court, serving until 1902, when he left to return to private practice.[3]
He died in his home, after a lengthy illness.[2]
