Mary and Albert lived in Seoul in
Dilkusha, a house built in 1923 but from which they were forcibly evicted in 1942 by Japanese authorities. The house's name means 'Heart's Delight' in
Urdu, and was inspired by the famous house of the same name,
Dilkusha Kothi, in
Lucknow,
India, that the couple visited during their honeymoon. Mary was an active member of the Seoul Club, well known for her hospitality and dinner parties. Albert, like his father and grandfather, was a successful gold miner. He was also a correspondent for
United Press International. His connections, influence, and later refusal to leave Korea in 1941 led to him being deemed a criminal by the then-Japanese government, and he consequently spent six months in
Seodaemun Prison. After returning to America the following year, he died in 1948. Mary returned to Korea to bury her husband next to his father's grave at
Yanghwajin Foreigners' Cemetery. After her death, her autobiography
Chain of Amber was published by her son, Bruce.
Chain of Amber was translated into Korean in Seoul by Young-dahl Song in March, 2014. ==Selected bibliography==
