Bert, who was 10 years younger than Fred, was born on May 24, 1887 in University Place, Neb. Obviously talented like Fred, he became a skilled musician without any formal training. According to his daughter, Lenore Dunlop, "He did not attend college, but took special courses in harmony." Bert lived for a time in Zion City, Ill., where he married Margaret Robinson in 1907. Again, like Fred, he also worked for the U.S. Postal Service, and like Fred, he became a pastor and healing revivalist. He became known as a songwriter, song-leader, and trombonist.
Bert died on Feb. 17, 1958, 1958 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He was 70. His death occurred only a few weeks after the passing of Fred, who died Jan. 23, 1958. Shortly after their passing, the Alliance Witness published a tribute stating, “there were many unusual instances of divine healing" in the meetings held by the Bosworth Brothers.
Bert's daughter shared a brief overview of his life and ministry at Hymnary.org. It can be viewed here:
