Ruben,

I have information on Carlos Moser, although not as much as I would like. I am doing research on the ore terminal and aerial tramway in Big Bend National Park in Texas. Carlos Moser built the tramway to haul ore into the US from mines near Boquillas, Coahuila. The tramway was built starting 1907 or so by the Del Carmen Company, of which Moser, his wife, Aimee, and her father Louis Lyon were all partners. Moser was the mining engineer for the operation until he died in March 1915 in El Paso. He and Aimee did not have children.

I have, however, tracked down one of Aimee's sons from her second marriage as well as one of her nephews. The nephew was 92 as of 2005 and remembers Moser as a very small child. His memory was that he loved children.

I'd be happy to share any more information I have on Moser with you. You can see my research on Moser, the Del Carmen Company, and the Tramway at http://oreterminal.joelandkaren.com.
