So, after returning home from San Antonio, I checked my email to find a response to my query of the German-Texan Heritage Socity.
The geneology editor did research on my behalf on the "1910 Texas Census".
According to that census, he was living in hotel run or owned by a John M. Chambers in Precinct 3, Brewster County. So, it looks to me that he moved from San Antonio to get closer to the ore terminal, once ore started being moved on a regular basis.
He was born 1857 in Germany. He emmigrated in 1881 and became a Naturalized citizen. His occupation is "Miner, works in Mines on own". He has 52 at the time of the Census, his wife, Aimee L. Moser, was 29. She was born in Missouri.
The editor couldn't find any children. I'm surprised she found anything, as I didn't find Carlos Moser in any Texas census.
Still, this is a great lead and hopefully I can find descendents of Carlos Moser.
