He completed his early education in Birmingham, Alabama, plus one and a half years of college.

He worked in Birmingham, Alabama as a houseman for the Adler family, a very influential family. After leaving the Adler family he began traveling, and later moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he joined the Metropolitan Community Church, where he sang in the choir.

Rev. Boswell was always musically inclined. Therefore, after college he began to study music. He studied under many teachers, one being that of Mrs. Julia Mae Kennedy of Chicago, Illinois. Although he was an excellent musical student and musician he needed finances to accomplish his goal in life.

Rev. Boswell married Dora Bell of Liberty, Missouri, and to that union they had one child, Charlene La Belle. (Mrs. Boswell passed in 1936) Rev. Boswell raised his daughter without remarrying.

While Charlene was in her last year of college, Elder Boswell passed on Thursday, July 17, 1952.

The funeral was held at the Metropolitan Spiritual Church of Christ, burial was in the Highland Memorial Gardens, 2640 Blue Ridge Blvd. Kansas City, MO.

Some of Elder Boswell sayings were, "Sing children," and "God Bless my father's children, here there and everywhere, no matter what they're doing Lord. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."
