Curtis Arthur Dundee, the son of John Henry and Clara Bell (Lawson) Dundee, was born December 16, 1927, in Postville, Iowa. He died Monday, February 10, 1997, at his home in Postville. He had reached the age of 69 years, one month and 24 days.

He was baptized in the Forest Mills United Methodist Church northeast of Postville. He attended the Forest Mills school and the Waterville grade school.

On July 29, 1950 Curtis was married to Eva L. Walters at the Rossville Presbyterian Church by the Reverend A. H. Grossheim. To this union, four children were born.

Curt lived with his parents in Postville, the Evergreen area north of Postville and in 1936, he lived in Clermont. From 1937 to 1940, he lived in the Forest Mills area, from 1940 to 1944 in Fairview Township, and from 1944 to 1950, in Linton Township. He had been employed as a farmhand during this time. After he and Eva were married, they lived near Rossville and then moved to Postville. Curt was employed by the Hygrade Meat Packing Plant from 1951 until 1978.
