Moss attended the public schools and worked in a bank in early youth. He was admitted to the bar after graduating from the law department of West Virginia University at Morgantown in 1896. The same year, he opened his legal practice in Parkersburg.

He served as prosecuting attorney for Wood County from 1900 to 1904. In 1904, Moss became a judge serving on the Fourth circuit court of West Virginia until 1912. In that year, he was elected to Congress as a Republican. He served from March 4, 1913, until his death in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He is interred at Odd Fellows Cemetery in Parkersburg.
