"Memorial service set for student killed in accident

Last Updated 2/18/2008 4:18:07 PM

The Springfield College in Illinois-Benedictine University community is planning a memorial prayer service for student Katelyn “Katie” McCarty, who was among four teens killed Friday in a crash near Middletown.

The service for the 19-year-old Taylorville resident will be Tuesday at noon in the Marguerite Matthews Chapel in Dawson Hall on the SCI-Benedictine campus.

Monsignor Thomas Holinga of St. Joseph's Church will lead the service.

The three other teens who lost their lives were Ross B. Conrady, 18, of Elkhart, Christopher J. McGlasson, 19, of Middletown and Katherine L. “Katie” Carpentier, 15, of Lincoln.

Conrady and Carpentier were a senior and sophomore at Lincoln Community High School, respectively, and McGlasson was a 2006 graduate of LCHS.

The four were killed when the pickup they were in hit a tree and caught fire at the bottom of a curved stretch of road near where 1300th Street crosses Polecat Hill just east of Middletown.

Two other teenage boys survived.

LCHS graduates Zach Rickord and Clark Schoonover, also students at SCI/Benedictine, were taken to Memorial Medical Center. Rickord was listed in serious condition Sunday night while Schoonover was in fair condition. Their conditions on Monday weren't immediately available."
