Again, \Vickyffe, in the translation of one Bible passage, says: "The schip (ship) was hilid (hiller or covered) with \vavis.” The words “hilyer” and “hillman,” therefore. were descriptive of occupa- tions, which explains why these family names in their varied spellings are Clll meth REAKEY SELLS THE : llhuu cars of all types; all cars sold sutr [act to delivery up to 300 miles. or [an run of same dlstance if you \vlsh‘ in u gooJ order as purchased. or purchhsa rice rafundpd‘ l“I‘liING mechanic of your own choice to look them over, or ask us to take any car m city represemau‘e for Inspection.

Latin inscriptions give us _ the form “Scotnus” and “Scoto,” the latter apparently being a common name among the Tentonic Franks who lived in the northern part of France.
