Fermanagh - Ardess Old Cemetery *********************************************** Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Fermanagh Index Copyright ************************************************ File contributed by: John Cunningham ARDESS OLD Cemetery With such a long connection between the Archdall/ Archdale family and Ardess Church it is worth recording the funeral of General Archdall in August 1839 as an example of a major funeral of those days and possibly the largest funeral ever to come here. "Funeral of General Archdall." The remains of this deeply lamented gentleman, were removed from Castle Archdall and deposited in the family vault at Ardess Church on Monday last, amidst the largest concourse of sorrowing friends ever assembled on any similar occasion in Fermanagh. Not only the numerous tenantry on his estates in this county and in Tyrone testified their regret and regard for one of the best landlords, but the greater part of the gentry, and an immense part of the population of those counties appeared anxious to pay the last tribute of respect to departed worth while the poor of the surrounding district, testified by their lamentations the departure of a most bountiful benefactor. A person who had the curiosity of reckoning the number of vehicles in the mournful cavalcade, informs us that they amounted to 107 - nearly one half of which were the private carriages of the nobility and gentry. The horsemen were beyond all calculation, while the multitudes on foot crowded the roads and hills the entire length from the castle to the church, a distance of more than four miles. This, as we have before stated, was an instance of the well-merited regard for the exalted character and numerous virtues of the deceased. 70 Years.
