Thanks for joining in. I’m not sure what you mean by “descriptive nick name”. By the picture, I thought it was the adjective use of “broad” but maybe that place was nicknamed “Squat”? Or the person HIlliard was nicknamed “Squat” for being broad? Just curious. Enjoyed reading your story. Very succinct and with a lot of prompts. Very cool!

Hilliard’s nick name was Squat probably a descriptive term, but since he was already buried when I got there I couldn’t say!!! Thanks for the lovely prompt!!

Oh, so he must have been short stout guy? Unless he was tall and thin and it was a joke. I don’t really know anything about Hilliard so I’ll go check him out on Wiki.
