From an on-site sign by the St. Clements Heritage Advisory Committee:
In 1905, Charlie and Caroline Mattson donated one acre of land as a site for the new church and cemetery. Church construction began immediately and was completed by 1910.
The original one acre cemetery was consecrated in 1910 and the additional two acres in 1998.
Unique features of this Gothic Revival style building are its original hewed log walls (now clad in siding), the pressed tin panels (still visible) on the interior walls and the pointed arch windows.
An annual service is still held each June, as well as weddings, burials, etc.
