Biography - GEORGE H. MOSER
George H. Moser, a well known and successful homeopathic physician of
Arcola, was born in Auburn, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, December 19,
1859, and is the son of John Moser, a native of the same state. His mother
was Alvinia Hellig, who was a descendant of Quaker ancestry. The Moser
family are descendants of the Dutch, whose lineage is traced back by some of
the members to Daniel Moser, who made his settlement in Pennsylvania in the
year 1799.
Doctor Moser came west and early in life turned his attention to the study
of medicine. After a thorough preparation he entered the Homeopathic Medical
College of Missouri, at St. Louis, which is one of the leading medical
institutions of the west, and was graduated with distinguished honors in the
class of 188990. He immediately entered upon the practice of his profession
at Belleville, Illinois, where he remained in active practice for two years.
Then he removed to Bond county, where he was located until 1895, when, on
the 12th of October, in the same year, he came to Arcola. He came here with
a fixed purpose of making Arcola and vicinity his field of work, and time
has proven that he has made no mistake in his location. He almost
immediately got into a paying practice, and within the last year he has all
the business that he could possibly attend to.
Dr. Closer is a splendid judge of human nature, a close observer and skilled
in the diagnosis of his patients. Affable and approachable, he has within a
very short time made a host of substantial friends. On December 10, 1881, he
was united in marriage and has three children: Lola, Viola and Hattie.
