D/O Schuyler Wagner and Jennie Marcellus Wagner. She graduated from Emporia High
School and from Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas. She was united in marriage
to Thomas E. Ingle of Howard, Kansas on December 22, 1946. Together they
ministered to churches in Kansas, including Pomona, Wamego, Ottawa, Wichita,
Lansing, and Lewis. Marj's career was as an elementary school teacher, teaching
in towns where her husband pastered. 

After their retirement, they moved to El Dorado where she was a substitute
teacher. She was especially interested in international students. While teaching
in Wichita, she was instrumental in helping the district absorb immigrants from
Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War and loved having them in her classroom. In
Leavenworth, she taught English to children of Allied officers from all over the
world who were stationed at the army base and sent their children to public
schools. Marj was especially involved in American Baptist women's Ministries and
traveled to Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Zaire (Congo) visiting and encouraging
missionary workers in those places. She picked up languages quickly, but it was
her beautiful smile and warm spirit that communicated best and drew people to
her wherever she went. 

Rev. Ingle died in April 1996. She married Robert Melton, of Emporia, January 1,
2000 and moved back to her hometown. He died in August 2002.
