ZION CHIEF'S WIFE EXPIRES

Mrs. Wilbur Glenn Voliva Dies After Illness of Many Months Growth on Neck Is 
Believed to Have Caused Death

Chicago, IL — Mrs. Wilbur Voliva, wife of the general overseer of Zion City, 
died, after an illness of many months. It is said a growth on her neck caused 
strangulation. She died firm in her belief in divine healing, refusing to see a 
physician. Sickness is sin and doctors are "agents of the devil," her husband's 
followers believed and although Mrs. Voliva's father, Dr. Nathan Steele of 
Palestine, threatened to have her removed from her home unless she was given 
medical attention, nothing was done to prevent pain or effect a cure. She was 
forty-four years old. There is one daughter, Ruth, fourteen years old. Funeral 
services were held Monday, it is said, in the Zion Home auditorium.

Additional Comments:
Buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Zion, Lake County, Illinois
