AC Boswell was born in Stilesville Indiana to Davis and Nancy (Nanie) Boswell

AC was a circus performer, doing a heavy and light balancing act before his marriage to Meldania, and the responsibilities of raising a family, took him to a sales career. He was actually the New Orleans agent for Fleischmans before he retired, which is a significantly more notable position. While he is interred at the Carrolton Cemetery in NOLA, both his headstone and that of his son's were washed away and records of the burial location lost in a fire.

Alfred's brother George Boswell married Meldania's sister ,Martha-"Aunt Mat".
