- Comment: This is my first time doing this, so I am not clear on how to cite those statements, but the article is fully referenced, so I look forward to seeing how the citations will be used in the DYK format. Thanks for considering this.

Long enough, new enough, no copyvios detected by Earwig's tool. Sources support the hooks. The image appears to be properly licensed. The hooks are both interesting. My only concern is the use of Find-a-Grave as a source, but as it's one of two sources and not directly supporting the hooks, I don't think it's an issue.
