In every profession there are men who never attempt to cover the entire scope of knowledge concerning their chosen calling, but concentrate their efforts and attention upon a single line, thereby attaining a degree of efficiency that could not otherwise be acquired. Following this tendency Dr. Moulton. while well versed in the general principles of medicine and surgery, is giving his attention largely to diseases of the eye, ear and nose and has become recognized as an authority on this branch of the profession. A native of Iowa, he was born in Stewart, in 1889, and is a son of Dr. H. and Lynn (Crockett) Moulton, whose family numbered but two children, the daughter being Elizabeth Moulton.
