Evangelist B.B. Bosworth
(1887 - 1958)
Burton Brydia “B.B.” Bosworth, the younger brother of Fred
Francis “F.F.” Bosworth, died on Feb. 17, 1958, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. at the
age of 70. His death was caused by respiratory medullary failure, according
to his death certificate. The medulla is the respiratory control center of the
brain. According to one medical professional (my niece) who reviewed this document, "he had
a stroke to the medulla area of the brain, which controls the involuntary
respiratory actions which caused respiratory failure."
Burton’s death occurred only a few weeks after the
passing of Fred, who died on Jan. 23, 1958.
According to the death certificate, Burton suffered from
pleural effusion or water on the lungs, for eight to 12 weeks. For 20 years, he
suffered from arteriosclerotic heart disease. Burton
also had diabetes mellitus and influenza. Members of the Bosworth family confirmed
years ago that both of the Bosworth brothers suffered from diabetes.
For many years, Burton and
Fred held revival meetings that attracted thousands of people. Many who
attended the meetings reported healings and miracles in answer to prayer. Oswald J. Smith, who personally participated in some of the meetings, said, “The lame are
walking, the deaf are hearing, the cancers are gone – these things no one can
deny.”
In my article, “B.B. Bosworth: Unsung Hero of Divine Healing Revival Meetings,” posted on Oct. 24, 2020, I mentioned the tribute to Burton and his brother that was written in the Alliance Witness. Shortly after
their passing, the magazine reported “there were many unusual instances of
divine healing" in the meetings held by the Bosworth Brothers.
