*Obituary
Benton County Democrat
Thursday, May 17, 1894

SHEFFIELD, T.C. - T.C. Sheffield, or Uncle Tom Sheffield, as he was generally known, departed this life on the 3d day of May near Robinson, Benton Co., Ark., just four weeks after the death of his aged companion, of which notice was published in the Democrat. Father Sheffield was born in Old Virginia, May 24th, 1819, consequently he would have been 75 years old the 24th of this month. He had been a member of the Christian church since 1856 but for the past two years has attended services but seldom on account of poor health. For the last twelve months he has been a great sufferer, being afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, which was the cause of his death. He had been a citizen of this county for something like thirty years, coming to the county just after the war and settling on the place where he died. His sons and daughters tender their thanks to the kind neighbors and friends who assisted them during the sickness of both father and mother. J.V. Leonard.
