    In 1920, Daniel and family are still in the same area of Cass County, Texas.  He is listed this time as Dink H Day.  This indicates this must have been his common nickname.  Perhaps it had developed in recent years, since we have no previous indication of this appellation.  Two grandchildren (Parsons or Pesons) are in the household.
