  		1930 Texas, Jefferson County, Beaumont census Moyer family at 294 St. Anthony Ave. The house numbering does not go this low anymore. But from looking at the 1937 Street Guide, it says St. Anthony Avenue goes from Schwarner south to Doucette, 1 block west of Irving Ave. So, apparently it was close to the corner of St.Anthony at Schwarner. However, Tilson is inbetween St. Anthony and Irving. They were only in this place a short time anyway.
