In 1960, Oswald married Lila Kuehn in Redwood Falls; she preceded him in death. On December 15, 1968, Oswald married Darlene Gaetke. Oswald farmed for over 45 years.

Oswald was a member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church and served as chairman of the finance committee. He was a member of the Redwood Elevator Board and served on the Kintire Township Board for over 20 years. Oswald was also a delegate to the Republican convention. He loved spending time with family and friends, traveling the world, talking about farming, and helping his family in any way he could.

Jordan of Madison Lake; granddaughter Carli Jo Jordan of Madison Lake; and sister Ardella (John) Anderson of Belview. He was preceded in death by his sister Dorothy P. Jordan.
