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.
