Fatal mobile home blaze near West Frankfort claims Jeffrey Wall
A rural West Frankfort fire early Wednesday killed a man identified by coroner Charles Seagle as Jeffrey Wall 31. Wall, a coal miner at Old Ben 26 in Lesser, was found in the ashes of his burned trailer after neighbors reported the blaze late. The coroner expects dental records to confirm identity within days. The fire also destroyed a 1977 Cadillac. Wall's funeral arrangements are set for Friday at Union Funeral Home.
