DYK suggestions anyone?

I find Gwen Grant Mellon's life quite remarkable.

what do readers think about a WP:DYK? Possibilities are for example:

... that Gwen Grant Mellon was a single mother of 3 running a dude ranch, when she met an heir to the Mellon fortune, decided to go into tropical medicine and to found Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti, where she lived most her life until she was buried in a cardboard coffin ?--Wuerzele (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

... that Gwen Grant Mellon was a single mother of 3, running a dude ranch, when she met and married an heir to the Mellon fortune, who decided to become a doctor to practice in the underdeveloped world, to which she replied You're right, we don't want to sit around looking at the damn cows all our lives.? --Wuerzele (talk) 20:35, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The maximum length for DYK hooks is 200 characters; less is preferred. These are all over the limit. Yoninah (talk) 01:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
