Portrait of a Distinguished Citizen.
John and Margery Moser
Many residents of the cascaae area literally
owe their lives to John and Margery Moser. For
the past 21 years, the husband and wife team has
been the town's only doctors.
Moser was born and raised in Altoona, Pa. His
wife was born Margery Moor of Girard, Ohio. The
two were married when he was graduated from
Air Force pilot training. They entered the same
medical school class at Case Western Reserve
University at Cleveland, Ohio, and completed
their medical training at Cleveland Metropolitan
General Hospital.
The couple moved to Cascade in 1954 and has
been there since. The lives they have saved in
that mountain community are far too numerous
to mention. Both have traveled countless miles
making house calls day and night.
Both have been active in community activites.
Moser is a layman in the Episcopal Church, a
member of the Cascade Zoning Commission since
its inception, and was a member of the Cascade

terms on the Governors Mental Health Advisory
Council and is a director of the Idaho Lung Asso-
ciation. He also is Democratic chairman of his
legislative district and a member of the Sierra
Club.
Margery Moore is the church pianist, a member
of the Valley County Welfare Advisory Council
and the National Study of Local Schools.
Dee Emerson, a nurse's aide who has worked
with the Mosers for the last 13 years and has
known them since they came to Cascade, de-
scribes them as "great people."
"They've served this community for many
years and done so very graciously," she said.
"They're about the only doctors around here. I
don't see how the community could survive with-
out them. They come day and night to the hospital
and make house calls at all hours, too. They've
just been great people for this area. There's no
other word for it."
