THE SEAT-CYPERT-HARDY-SPORE FAMILY

Louise Seat Cypert came from a pioneer southern family as well. Her father was Captain Benton Bell Seat (1830-1917) of Trenton, Tennessee. Seat left Tennessee for California during the gold rush of 1849 after studying law at Lebanon. He settled in Texas after his return and served in Sibley's Texas Brigade and the Fifth Texas Cavalry during the Civil War, participating in the ill-fated New Mexico Campaign. He was wounded in the battle of Valverde, New Mexico and finished the war fighting with troops in Louisiana. Seat resumed his legal career in Texas following the war and then moved to Nicaragua where he practiced law and speculated in the banana business. Aside from Louise, Seat had another child, William Haymond Seat, who remained in Nicaragua after the Captain left for Arkansas in 1901. Captain Seat lived the rest of his life in Searcy with his daughter and son-in-law.

Judge Cypert's children are also represented in this collection. Harriet Cypert graduated from Searcy High School in 1932 and attended college at a number of different institutions, including Galloway Woman's College in Searcy. She served as a medical technician in World War II at Barksdale Field, Louisiana. Florence Cypert married Reverend Kenneth Spore of St. Charles, Arkansas, in 1933. Spore was a Methodist clergyman who graduated from Hendrix College in 1927. He preached to congregations at Scott, Little Rock, and Hope, Arkansas during his lengthy career and was actively interested in the history of his denomination. Spore published numerous articles and a book on Arkansas Methodist History.

THE COLLECTION

Series two holds papers dealing with the Cypert family, from Jesse Newton Cypert to the five children of Judge Eugene Cypert. Materials concerning the Hardy-Haymond-Crow families, relatives of the Cyperts, have been placed in series three.

Series four holds papers created or collected by Reverend Kenneth Spore, including many sermons preached during his career and research files concerning Arkansas Methodism. Series five, scrapbooks, and series six, photographs, hold materials concerning personalities represented in series one through four. The series have been divided into subseries based on document type.

   Correspondence, financial papers, legal documents, and printed materials pertaining to the Hardy-Haymond-Crow families, relatives of the Cypert family of White County, Arkansas. Joshua Crow was a pioneer resident of White County in the early nineteenth century. One of his daughters, Sarah Harlan Crow, married Jesse Newton Cypert. Another, Blanche Crow, married a West Point, Arkansas, man named Hardy. Their daughter was also named Blanche. Some legal papers in this series pertain to families other than the Hardy, Haymond, and Crow clans, but their relationship to the Cypert, Seat, and Spore families is unclear, necessitating their placement in this series. There is a possibility that these other families were clients of Judge Eugene Cypert in his capacity as an attorney and their papers were retained by him.

   Letters written to or received by members of the Hardy-Haymond-Crow families.
