Timeline

1902

Isabel Ingram Mayer, née Ingram (March 7, 1902 – 1988) was an American tutor to Wanrong, the empress consort of China of Puyi, the last emperor of China.

Born 7 March 1902 in Beijing, Ingram was the daughter of American Congregational missionary James Henry Ingram (1858-1934) and Myrtle Belle (Prough) Ingram (1871-1941), his second wife.

Her passport and a New York Times article (cited below) give her sisters as Miriam Ingram and Ruth Ingram.

Other siblings were Kathryn Ingram (Rowe), Robert Ingram, and Lewis Ingram.

1922

Ingram graduated from Wellesley College in Massachusetts in 1922.

She returned to China, was admitted to the Forbidden City and became Wanrong's tutor.

Wanrong married Puyi in December 1922 and became the last Empress Of China.

Ingram began teaching Wanrong English in 1922, shortly before the marriage and recalled the yellow satin robe Wanrong wore on her wedding day.

Ingram noted: "The boy Emperor rarely, if ever, interrupted our study hour."

Famous in his era, travel-adventure writer Richard Halliburton wrote his parents in December 1922 that he called on "the young American tutoress of the Empress Of China."

He added that he found the visit quite interesting.

The young Ingram was petite and quite attractive.

He wrote that on Christmas Eve he "went for a walk about the city wall with Miss Ingram" and that "the Royal Pair were only married a day or two before," adding that "this girl" and Reginald Johnston, Pu Yi's tutor, were the only people of European stock "at the great ceremony."

In his book The Royal Road to Romance, he wrote that the empress was not to be outdone by the emperor with his tutor and that Ingram taught her the speech, modes, and manners of the West.

The two girls tried to look like one another and traded clothes on at least one occasion.

1923

A note on Ingram's passport reads "Travelling to British ports, Egypt, Palestine, and the United Kingdom en route to the United States of America. British Consulate, Peking. 23/2/27."

1924

On 12 May 1924, Time had a piece titled "Henry The Democrat," Henry referring to a name adopted by Puyi, who, according to Time, had a "beautiful consort" with the court name Elizabeth (Wanrong).

The article states "Elizabeth was accompanied by Miss Isabel Ingram, graduate of Wellesley, her American tutor."

1927

As a reflection of her interest in Chinese art and culture, she wrote "A Scroll of the Eight Views by Chang Lung Chang" for The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin as well as "The Siren Collection of Chinese Sculpture," both from 1927 to 1929.

According to Ingram's American passport, in case of death or accident, she wished that a sister Ruth Ingram be notified at Peking Union Medical College.

On 12 April 1927, it was stamped by the harbour police in Ceylon.

It bears other stamps, including Italy, Singapore, Greece, and Port Said.

1928

In 1928, she returned to China.

1934

A 21 November 1934 New York Times article stated that the empress received part of her education from two American women.

It named the women as Miriam Ingram and Isabel Ingram and stated they are daughters of a Congregational missionary from Philadelphia.

The article explained that from them the empress learned English, history, and something about life in the Western world.

At the time of her father's death in 1934, she lived in Edgewood, Maryland with her husband William Mayer, a captain in the United States Army.
