A simple-minded but kind-hearted young man who works as a boy-of-all-work at the Travellers' Rest in Hambry. After Cuthbert intervenes to save Sheemie from Depape's near-killing over a spilled bucket, Sheemie becomes utterly devoted to the three boys from Gilead, and especially to Cuthbert. He serves quietly as a go-between for Roland and Susan when the lovers can no longer risk meeting in the open, and proves, in the small ways the situation permits him, that the courage and discretion the gunslingers value are not as tied to formal intelligence as their training tends to suppose. His mother was Dolores Sheemer; the bartender Stanley Ruiz may be his father.
