Born on March 11, 1867 in Frederick, Maryland, Ingle was the son of Review Osborne Ingle (1837-1909), who served more than four decades as rector of All Saints Church, Frederick, Maryland and his wife Mary Mills Addison.
Ingle attended the local Frederick schools, then graduated from the Episcopal High School of Virginia at Alexandria, Virginia. He graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary (in 1891), and was ordained deacon at his home parish, All Saints Church, Frederick, on 29 January 1891 by Bishop William Paret.
He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in 1885 and his Master of Arts from the same institution in 1888. After teaching at a private academy in Charlottesville in 1886-1887, Ingle decided to study for the priesthood. The same prelate raised to him the priesthood in Baltimore on June 7, 1891, and young Ingle left on a boat for China that October.
Ingle published the Hankow Syllabary in Shanghai in 1899.
In 1901 he was elected missionary bishop for the Missionary District of Hankow. The consecration service in both English and Chinese took place at Saint Paul"s Church, Hankow on 24 February 1902.
Ingle"s principal consecrator was Frederick Rogers Graves. Ingle died on December 7 the following year, and was buried in the Old International Cemetery in Hankow.
When she was interred at her family"s gravesite in Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, South Carolina, their joint cenotaph remembered Rt.
Ingle as well. Rt. Logan Herbert Roots succeeded Ingle as bishop of Hankow. A memorial service was held in his honor at Emmanuel Church, Baltimore, during which Arthur M. Sherman mentioned Ingles" dedication to building a native church, and his efforts after the Boxer Rebellion.
His Frederick Maryland parish donated funds to establish a scholarship at the Boone Divinity School in China in his memory, which was mentioned at the All Saints Day services in both his parishes.
