Below is an excerpt taken from the book No Color Is My Kind - The Life of Eldrewey Joseph Stearnes and the Integration of Houston. Written by: Thomas R. Cole.

******Eldrewey Joseph Stearnes is the great grandson of Anna Roberts Cook******

Among Liza's nine children was a daughter named Anna -- born in October 1864 and begotten by Elisha's son, Tommy Roberts.

As a young woman, Anna learned the skills of a country midwife and was often sought out by neighbors -- including her half-brothers' families -- when someone was sick or in labor.

When Anna died at the age of nine-nine years, three hundred sixty-four days, and twenty-three hours, the Roberts boys wanted to bury "Aunt Anna" in the white cemetery. But her daughters prevailed and buried their mother in the "black" cemetery out on Farm-to-Market Road 2213, right by the church at the entrance to Roberts Community.
