Robert Liebelt, son of Karl and Christina (Reile) Liebelt, was born on a farm southwest of Cleveland, North Dakota on April 23, 1915. His formative years were spent going to school and working on the family farm.

On November 12, 1939 he married Sara Brenneise. Several months thereafter they established their own home southeast of Cleveland and began farming. In 1947 they bought and moved to their permanent farm home north of Medina, ND. They had one son, Lance, who helped with the farming.
