At age seven, Rosemary moved with her parents and sister, Phoebe, to Lafayette. Rosemary attended the SLI training school and then Lafayette High School where her father was principal. In 1940, Rosemary obtained a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at Southwestern Louisiana Institute, now known as University of Louisiana at Lafayette. During her senior year at SLI, Rosemary was Homecoming Queen of 1939. She was active in many organizations, including the original formation of the Red Jackets. Nominated by the Young Men’s Business Club of Lafayette, Rosemary was chosen to be Queen Evangeline VI of Mardi Gras in February 1939. After obtaining her teaching degree, Rosemary taught school in Calcasieu Parish for two years. After that, she taught in Lafayette Parish, at Myrtle Place Elementary School in Lafayette. Rosemary married her college sweetheart, Horace “Shorty†Adkins in March 1942. Two months later, Shorty, a fighter pilot with the U.S. Army Air Corps, was deployed to the Burma/India Theater. At the time of his death in 1943, he was in active service. After Shorty’s death, Rosemary received training as a medical social worker in Washington, DC and served with the American Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces until 1947. She was stationed in military hospitals at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, Memphis, Tennessee, and Fort Polk, Louisiana. After receiving additional training in Washington, DC, she worked as a psychiatric social worker in Walter Reed Hospital. She returned to Lafayette where she continued in medical social work at Charity Hospital. It was during this period that she met Alexander R. Singleton from Dallas, Texas, a civil engineer specialized in bridge construction sent to South Louisiana by Austin Bridge Company. Rosemary and Alex married on June 1, 1948, and for five years made their home in Lafayette where their son John Maxim was born. In 1953, they moved to Baton Rouge where four daughters were born: Alexandra Rose, Martha Jane, Anne Louise, and Mary Susan. Rosemary and Alex and their children lived in Baton Rouge until 1970 when the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1976, when Alex retired, Rosemary and Alex bought a 300-acre ranch in the Hill Country in Bandera County, Texas, where they lived until Alex’s death in 1978. Rosemary returned to Lafayette in 1979 to her home on Myrtle Place Boulevard. In 1982, she married Larry Logan of Lafayette.
