(KAIR)--A long-time Atchison County leader, and a life-long farmer, is being remembered following his death this week.

Floyd Oswald was 89-years-old when he died Thursday, at his Muscotah home, surrounded by his family.

Known for his love of farming, gardening, Farmall tractors, and volunteering, Oswald's obituary from Atchison's Becker-Dyer-Stanton Funeral Home, says he served for 28-years on the Kapioma Township Board as Treasurer.

According to the obituary, Oswald achieved his longtime goal of becoming an Atchison County Commissioner in 2000, and he served two consecutive 4-year-terms in that role of county leadership.

Oswald will be laid to rest Monday, in the Powhattan Cemetery, following funeral services Monday morning, at 10:00, at the Becker-Dyer-Stanton Funeral Home, in Atchison.

Among Oswald's survivors are his wife, Alleta, three children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
