JAMES A. SHEFFIELD.—One of the leading representatives of business interests of
Brawley is James A. Sheffield, manager of the Imperial Valley Hardware Company
of Brawley, California, since July, 1913. This institution is one of the
largest, best-conducted and most successful business houses in Imperial County.
Mr. Sheffield was born at Salome Spring, Benton County, Arkansas, March 2, 1870,
son of George W. and Frances (Walker) Sheffield, both deceased and buried near
Silome Spring, Arkansas. Mr. Sheffield's family comes from old Scotch ancestry
and came to America before the Revolutionary war. Mr. Sheffield's father fought
in the Civil war on the side of the Confederacy. James A. acquired his education
in the schools of Arkansas and assisted on the home farm. Early in life he came
west and located at Jerome, Arizona, where he found employment in a general
merchandise store. Here he remained for some years, previous to coming to
Imperial Valley. In politics he is a Democrat, but has never aspired to office.
Fraternally Mr. Sheffield is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of the World. He
was united in marriage in Jerome, Arizona, August, 1899, to Miss Verone M.
Harris. To this union have been born three children: Cora A., George H., and
Charles N. Mr. Sheffield has the confidence and high regard of all those who
know him and his standing in the community is such as to justify his
representation in the first history of Imperial County.
