Buried in the Etna City Cemetery in Northern California little Willie E. lies far from his family. My mother's father's family has been the only Sheffield's in the small Scott Valley since the mid to late 1800's having mines on the Salmon River near Sawyers Bar. We have yet to find the connection between little Willie E. and any of our Sheffield ancestors. (His tombstone has also been moved over the years...a foot this way a foot that way).
