Attn: Heidi Wyatt,
My name is Linda and I was out at the Chapel with my boyfriend Lino, I am from Elsa, Tx and he is from Kerville, Tx. We were there on Sunday March the 6th some time in the after noon. It was a very Beautiful Chapel I was very exicted as he told me about the story behind it, until he scared me as he opened the door he made a noise and I got scared and yelled. But we are very intrested in visiting out there with you. If you get this message give me a date on when that would be possible. I do live 5 hours from your area. And after reading this information about it, we are more exicted about visiting you. Send me a message to my email address above.
Thank you,
Linda and Lino.

Does anyone have information on Thomasa T. Gonzales who is buried in Polly’s Cemetery? She was born Dec. 31, 1886 and died, May 20, 1956. She had one male child , surname Gonzales. It was her husband, whose first name I don’t have, that is the descendant of Polly. The informant on her death certificate was Richard Herrera. She died in Kerr County and her first name is spelled “Tomasa” on the death certificate. According to the certificate, Thomasa’s father’s surname was Trevino and her mother’s name was Teofita Valles. My husband’s mother (Alicia Gonzales) was one of the daughters of Thomasa’s son and Maria Gonzales. Her father disappeared and Maria remarried and became Mrs. Lucio Lopez.

Heidi, Hello. I was just at the chapel this past Sunday (12/20). My mother claims that her father was a nephew of Polly. I would love to see his house, aka “the fort.” If interested and available, please e-mail me here: gabielperez2nd@gmail.com (i mispelled my own name when i set up that account. Forgot the “R” in gabRiel.

By the way, my granfather’s name was Silberio Rodriguez and he was born and grew up in Bandera. He was son of Jose Maria Rodriguez and according to my grandfather, Jose Maria was a Texas Ranger in that area. Any one familiar with Polly’s family ever hear that name? I would like to confirm my mother’s suspicion.

Thanks

I have been leasing this land for 18 years now and I am very familiar with the chapel, the cemetery and the history of my friend Poly. I have done many hours of research on him through the Alamo archives as well as the Texas historian. The noises you all are hearing at night are probably me, i like to sleep up in the bell tower and I snore.

PS: Poly was a good man in all aspects.

I live on Polly’s original ranch. I use to own the chapel and cemetery, but donated them. His “fort” is on my ranch. If y’all are interested, I’ll show you his house. Polly is a good ghost…

I am one of the Great Grandaughters of Grandpa Poli. I am the grandaughter of Selma Rodriguez Arias. They tell me that I favor my Great Grandmother Anastasia. I have been attending reunions since I was a child at Polly’s Chapel and always felt a presence inside the church. I am sensative to the paranormal but tend to run from it. I never liked staying inside the church for long. I never knew my Great Grandfather but could always sense his presence. He was a very strong willed man and I know I have his blood running through my veins.

I know that he is there, when I just cannot go on, he picks me up and somehow I find the strength through god and his life to keep on going. I was glad to hear of your investigations because as a child, I was always told, “it is just your imagination” . Good luck in your future investigations.
