That is the church at Glen Leslie, just east of Grande Praire on the old Bezanson road. As far as I can gather, it was built in 1914 and the cemetery was established then as well. I did take a could photos at the cemetery as well. One is of an old head stone and the other is one that had to have been replaced in the not too distant past. The newer stone caught my eye especial and pulled a little at the heart strings. I think it would anyone.
