'O'CALLAGHAN' OF IRELAND DIES IN DUBLIN AT 80
DUBLIN, Aug. 13 (AP). -- Col. George O'Callaghan-Westropp, 80, bearer of the ancient Irish title "The O'Callaghan" and aide de camp to three kings, died here today.
Born at Attyflin Park, Limerick county, Feb. 18, 1864, he was graduated from Cheltenham college and the Royal Military college at Sandhurst. In 1882 he became a lieutenant in the Royal Irish Rifles and in 1888 a captain.
In 1885 he assumed the name and arms of Westropp in addition to those of O'Callaghan in compliance with the will of his maternal uncle, Capt. Ralph Westropp. O'Callaghan-Westropp was named aide de camp to King Edward VII, in 1905, to King George V. in 1910, and to King Edward VIII, in 1936.
