S. T. TAPSCOTT, M. D.
    Dr. S. T. Tapscott, physician and surgeon, is practicing in Searcy, his
native city. He was born October 7, 1884, and is a son of S. T. Tapscott
mentioned in connection with the sketch of Mrs. J. B. Gill, on another page of
this work. Dr. Tapscott acquired a public school education in Searcy and then
attended the Searcy College, from which he was graduated with the Bachelor of
Arts degree in 1900. He afterward became a student in the University of Missouri
at Columbia, where he pursued a preparatory course and later he matriculated in
the Kansas City University, from which he was graduated with the M. D. degree in
1907. He was identified with the public health service in 1907-1908, being
connected with a city hospital, and in 1909 he returned to Searcy, where he
entered into partnership with his father for the general practice of medicine.
Throughout the intervening period he has remained a close student of the
profession and took postgraduate work in the Chicago Postgraduate Medical
College in the winter of 1914-15. Broad reading at leisure hours has also kept
him thoroughly abreast with the latest discoveries and researches of the
profession and his pronounced ability is manifest in the excellent results which
have attended him in his practice.

    In March, 1918, Dr. Tapscott enlisted for service in the World war and was
trained at Fort Oglethorpe, after which he went overseas with Base Hospital, No.
57, of the American Expeditionary Forces and was stationed at Juilly and at
Paris. He was commissioned a first lieutenant and served for about a year.

    With his return to his native land Dr. Tapscott again opened an office in
Searcy, where he has continued in active practice and his professional duties
now make heavy demands upon his time and attention. He is a member of the White
County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society and the American
Medical Association and has served as secretary of the county organization.

    Dr. Tapscott was married to Miss Margaret Wilburn, a daughter of Major
Wilburn. Politically Dr. Tapscott is a democrat and keeps thoroughly informed
concerning the vital questions and issues of the day but has never been an
office seeker. His religious faith is that of the Baptist church and fraternally
he is connected with Searcy Lodge. No. 49. A. F. & A. M. He became a charter
member of Herman Armstrong Post of the American Legion, in which he has served
as vice commander. The interests and activities of his life are well balanced,
with the major part of his attention being given to his professional duties
which he discharges with a sense of conscientious obligation and according to
the highest ethical standards of the profession.
