A monument in the Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne is situated in a restful glade of trees, surrounded by prairie, on the former site of the Glenholm Methodist Church, from 1890 to 1968. Church services had been discontinued in 1960 and the building was demolished in 1968. The monument, unveiled in 1968, was built by John Seaman of Austin and Harvey Schneider of Edrans using stone from the original stone church building.
Among the clerics who served at this church was Herbert Thomas Reynolds (1920-1923).
