Father Elberfeld and Deacon Guinn in Dewittville, NY

The Rev. Richard Elberfeld, center, left, and Deacon Patricia Guinn, center, right, of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Mayville, hold a memorial service, on June 10, 2022, at the site on their property where at least two sets of human remains were found when a septic system was being dug on May 24, 2022. The property was once the site of the former Chautauqua County Alms House, which opened in the 1830s and closed in the 1950s, and officials believe the remains are of people who were buried in unmarked graves.

A proper burial

The sheriff's office stated in its news release issued after the remains were found in Dewittville that, at this point, the incident did not appear to be suspicious. Because of that, and since the remains are not believed to be recent, the office stepped back and released the scene, and the property owner and the Chautauqua County Law Department have been in contact with each other, Telford said.

An official with the Law Department said days after the discovery that the office did not yet have a clear answer on the next course of action, noting that the remains were found on private property. The office will be evaluating the situation, the official said.

Copies of St. Paul's Cookbooks are available at the church and in the office for $5.00 each.
