The following is from the University of Arkansas Press:

Louise Seat Cypert came from a pioneer southern family. 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.

Concerning her children, 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.
