He became a Judge of the Circuit Courts of Missouri for the St. Louis Circuit from 1876 to 1887.[1]

Federal judicial service

Thayer was nominated by President Grover Cleveland on February 21, 1887, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri vacated by Judge Samuel Treat. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 26, 1887, and received his commission the same day. His service terminated on August 20, 1894, due to his elevation to the Eighth Circuit.[1]

Thayer was nominated by President Cleveland on August 6, 1894, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the United States Circuit Courts for the Eighth Circuit, to a new joint seat authorized by 28 Stat. 115. He was confirmed by the Senate on August 9, 1894, and received his commission the same day. His service terminated on April 24, 1905, due to his death in St. Louis.[1]
