(KMZA)--A lifetime resident of Nemaha County, Kansas, and a 16-year commissioner for the county, is being remembered following his death Wednesday.

Galen Joseph Steinlage was 91 at the time of his death, in Seneca, the city he called home since 2009, with his wife, Sharon.

A member of the United States Army from 1954 to 1956, Steinlage, a farmer, also served as Kelly school bus driver, drove patrol for the Illinois Township, was township treasurer for 22-years, and was a member of the sheriff's reserve during the 1980s.

According to his obituary from the Popkess Memorial Chapel, in Seneca, it was in 1992 that Steinlage ran for, and was elected to the role of 2nd District Nemaha County Commission, a position he held for 16 years before retiring in 2008.

Funeral services for Steinlage will be Monday morning, at 10:30, at the Corning Trinity United Methodist Church, with internment and military honors to follow at Corning Cemetery.

Along with his wife, Steinlage is survived by his daughter, Debra Morgan, and a sister, Cindy Henry.
