Trust Fund Set For Lacrosse Man

Fri., Oct. 31, 1997

Friends have established a trust fund for the family of a LaCrosse, Wash., man who died Wednesday when his mobile home fell on him.

Donations for the family of William E. Giles can be made at the Seafirst Bank branch in LaCrosse.

Giles was killed as he was putting cinder blocks under the trailer, Whitman County authorities said.

The Vietnam War veteran was crawling under the house to put the blocks in place when he kicked loose a jack he had used to raise the house, authorities said.

Giles is survived by his wife, Tina, and three children, who range in age from six months to 12 years.
