Mr. Moser then was appointed U.S. consul at Aden, Arabia. While serving there he was ordered to the Kingdom of Yemen by the State Department to investigate the murder there of an itinerant American missionary. This made him the first American government representative officially to enter the kingdom.
From 1911 to 1914 he was consul at Columbo, Ceylon, and later at Harbin, Manchuria; Tiflis, Russia, at what was then Constantinople, Turkey, and Johannesburg, South Africa.
While in Tiflis, he met Princess Xenia Sidamon Eristoff and then fled with her and her mother during the Bolshevik revolution. He later married the princess, whose family had lived in province of Georgia in Russia for 12 centuries and also had a home in St. Petersburg.
Mr. Moser resigned from the Foreign Service and came back to the United States, settling near Winchester, Va., where he was a free lance writer for several years before becoming a regional consultant with the Commerce Department in 1924. Two years later he was promoted to chief f the department's Far Eastern division office of international trade, a position he held until he retired in 1947.
From 1928 to 1943 he lectured at Georgetown University on far Eastern economics, and in 1929-30 traveled around the world for the Pepperell Manufacturing Co. to make a survey of the cotton textile industries of China, Japan and India.
He then served for about 10 years beginning in 1949 as a consultant on the panel of the State Department to select applicants in oral examinations for the Foreign Service. Later he wrote a book, "Grandfather's Story," printed about two years ag. the book of his experiences was written for his grandchildren.
Mr. Moser became a collector of brasses and bronzes and rugs during his travels in the Far East.
While abroad Mr. Moser was one of the first Americans to explore the Amur River region of Manchuria. He also hunted in the Himalayas, and explored the country of northern India.
Besides his wife of 3623 Fessenden St. NW, he leaves a son, Eric of Atlanta, and four grandchildren.
Memorial graveside services will be at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Rock Creek Cemetery.
