The collection of manuscript notebooks includes nearly 30 years of Mrs. Roberts' daily poetry column (Rimes of the Times and later, Rime 'n' Reason) for the Kentucky Times Star (later the Post). Most of the poems are about local news, deaths, births, anniversaries and marriages, but on occasion Roberts writes something of national scope (e.g., the Kennedy assassination). Originally, a clipping of each poem as it appeared in the newspaper was attached to the original poem. These have been photocopied and filed separately for preservation purposes.
