Curt E. Bartlebaugh was born on 12 February 1897 at Lockvale, in Banks Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. His parents were Cornelius Bartlebaugh and Mahalah Ross. His brothers and sisters were Frank Leonard, Pearl Bessie, Lester O., Ida and Harry. In 1900 the family was at Glen Campbell and in 1910 in Banks Township.

He served in the First World War. He married Mina Vay Fetterman, the youngest daughter of Alexander T. Fetterman and Louisa Neal of Hortons. Their first child, Alice, was born and died in 1918. Theodore followed in 1920 and Gladys Ione in 1922, at Burnside in Clearfield County.

Curt worked as a coal miner and belonged to the United Mine Workers of America local at Clymer. The United Mine Workers was the coal miners' labor union. From 1929 the family lived at Commodore in Indiana County.

In August 1932 his mother died at Lochvale, and Curtis, as the certificate calls him, gave the details of her life to the registrar. In 1940 his father, then about 85, was living with him in Green Township. His wife Mina died in 1963 and his son Theodore in 1970.

Curt died at his home in Commodore on Christmas Day, 25 December 1974, aged 77. The Indiana Evening Gazette wrote: "Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. John (Gladys) Slanczka and nine great grandchildren." The Rev. Edward Furman held the service at the Rairigh Funeral Home, and he was buried beside Mina in the East Mahoning Cemetery at Purchase Line. Their stone is carved MY LORD AND MY GOD above the family name.
