- 1940 census, German Flatts (Ilion), Herkimer, NY, (212 E Clark), fam # 147 - Zoller Mary, rents her home, ae 36, 3 yr HS, born in NY, Traveling - show business.- Her stage name was Polly Jenkins and her musical group was called Polly Jenkins & Her Plowboys. She and "Uncle Dan" were the sidekicks in Gene Autry's
movie "The Man from Muscle Mountain." She and her group played at hundreds of USO shows.Newspaper Article (The Evening Telegram, Herkimer, NY, Thursday, September 13, 1945)
Ilion—Miss Mary Zoller and Erlau Wilcox, who have been presenting a musical specialty act at army camps and posts all over the country for the past three years, have “hit the road,” again after visiting friends and relatives here.
Although they have been miles away from home, their memory for acquaintances here did not lapse. The number of persons who greeted them with smiles and handshakes as they stood on the corner of Main and Central Ave. yesterday noon, proved that fact.
Theatrically known as “Polly Jenkins and her Plow Boys,” the group had just finished playing with the National Barn Dance which is presented in Chicago and were en route to Springfield, Mass., where they will once again commence stage shows. Their army work has terminated.
Both musicians, during their Army camp tours under USO sponsorship, met many Ilion soldiers. It was their custom, when such meetings did occur, to drop local newspapers a line, telling of their encounter, thus keeping separated friends and relatives in closer contact.
Miss Zoller narrated one really amusing and almost tragic incident which happened while they were leaving a camp one dark night. She said they were stopped at a camp gate by a hail of bullets from the sentry box, but no sentry was in sight.
They finally spotted him peering cautiously around the comer of the box. He explained that was the first time he had been on guard duty and he had been pretty nervous. When he heard a noise in the bushes and received no answer to his call, he fired away.
They later learned that he was a crack shot and had served a stretch in the guardhouse for killing a cow.
Miss Zoller, daughter of George Zoller, has one brother and four sisters living in this area. They are George H., Mrs. George Green, Mrs. Vito D’Alessandro and Mrs. Anthony Scapro of Ilion and Mrs. Walter Ames of Mohawk.
