"Entered Into Rest" - An Obituary Transcription for Elizabeth Armitage Meinzen

Below is a loving and heart-felt obituary for my great-grandmother, Elizabeth (Armitage) Meinzen, who died of cancer of the face in 1920. I have to say, though, I wonder if the writer was in training and a supervisor didn't review and edit the obituary. I'm out of breath after reading the second sentence.
