== Early life==
Theresa Ann Souders was born in Frankfort, Kansas, the only child of Robert Souders and Leuvenia Ann Bryant, African-American natives of Kentucky who emigrated to Kansas, most likely as a result of the mass migration of African-Americans from the South to the American West due to the Exoduster movement.〔"California, County Marriages, 1850-1952," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-29947-33501-9?cc=1804002 : accessed 3 March 2015), 005698576 > image 2026 of 3031; county courthouses, California. Although Souders stated on the marriage license that both her parents were natives of Kansas, census returns and her mother's obituary ((Kan. ) ''Index'', July 31, 1969, 1) lists the birthplace of both parents as Kentucky〕 The couple split, and in 1904, Leuvenia married Chester Arthur Harris, a porter for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, with whom she would have six more children.〔1920 Federal Census for Vermilion Township, Marshall County, Kansas (City of Frankfort) Enumeration District 83, Sheet 4-B, Lines 77-83〕
Tressie grew up in Frankfort and graduated from Frankfort High School in 1918.〔Frankfort High School, Frankfort, Kansas, Alumni List: http://www.frankfort.usd380.com/student_life/alumni/1911-1920.html〕 After graduation, she journeyed to Kansas City, Missouri where she was employed as a maid in private homes, a job she would perform for most of her working life.
According to the Kansas City city directory for 1921, she was working as a maid at the Mack B. Nelson House at 5500 Ward Parkway in the Sunset Hill neighborhood of the Country Club District in Kansas City, Missouri.〔 ''Polk's Kansas City (Missouri) Directory'' (Kansas City, Mo.: Gate City Publishing, 1921), 2120 〕
