Eaton, who was retired from a West Point industrial firm, had served on the board from 1967 through 1973, representing the Woodland area.
Supt. Of Education Raymond Paden said the school was closed in his honor on Monday because of the "fine work and support Mr. Eaton gave the school over the years."
Paden said the county schools had no bigger supporter than Eaton, praising him for his work on the part of education for everyone in the county. Paden said, "We lost a friend and a worker in Floyd Eaton."
Eaton's district covered most of the southern portion of Chickasaw County and stretched into Houston. Local officials said the were saddened by his sudden death and that all of the county had lost a "dedicated and honest man."
