Robert T. Sypert is the senior member of the general mercantile firm of Sypert, Parker & Co., of Nashville, Ark. He has resided in this county from his birth, which occurred near Nashville in 1859, he being the eldest of seven children born to the marriage of W. C. and Elizabeth (Whitmore) Sypert. Robert T. spent his youth in Nashville, being an attendant of the schools of that place, but later he entered school at Fayetteville, leaving there an intelligent and well posted young man. In 1883 he embarked in the mercantile business in partnership with his father, but the latter withdrew from the firm in January, 1888, and the present firm was formed. They are accounted among the energetic merchants of this section of the State, and are always courteous and obliging to their patrons, and are, consequently, prosperous. Mr. Sypert is an active citizen of this section, is much interested in educational matters, and in all affairs requiring public spirit and enterprise he is to be found in the front ranks. In 1890 he erected his handsome residence in Nashville, and here he and his wife and two children, David C. and Josh, reside. His marriage took place in 1883, his wife being Miss Josie Womack, a native of Howard County and a daughter of D. D. Womack, one of the live business men of this section.
