An Olney minister who died in a light airplane crash near Sweetwater, Tenn., was well-known in Edwards County where he used to minister to the Little Prairie Christian Church, west of Albion.
Larry Densmore, 35 and his 11-year-old son were killed when the plane Densmore was piloting crashed near Sweetwater, Tenn., according to an Associated Press report appearing in the Daily Republican-Register Monday.
Also killed in the plane crash was a passenger, Chip Jennings, 18, of Olney.
Densmore was flying to the Tennessee Military Institute in Madisonville to pick up Philadelphia 76ers basketball player, Dough Collins, who was slated to speak at the Elm Street Christian Church and conduct a basketball clinic at Olney Central College.
A Madisonville, Tenn., dispatcher said Densmore indicated difficulty in finding the airport around 9 a.m. last Friday. That was the last she heard from him.
Tennessee Civil Air Patrol authorities said the plane's wreckage and badly burned bodies were found on a wooded hillside.
Densmore's wife, Julie, and a daughter, Lori, 14, did not make the trip.
The Olney minister was a native of Noble where his parents, Mrs. and Mr. Harold Densmore live.
