MASSELINK STORIES

Frederik Aalderink (1858-1926) was a son of Hendrick Aalderink and Dena Velthuis. Frederik immigrated with his elder brother, Jan Aalderink (1853-1934), and Jan's wife, Hendrikje (Hattie) Broene, in 1882 from The Netherlands to Michigan, where they later settled on land near Allendale, Michigan. Hendrick married Fenne (Fanny) Masselink, a daughter of Hendrik Masselink (1829-1907), who had immigrated with two brothers and their families from Germany to Holland, Michigan. Descendants and relatives lived in Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and elsewhere. Includes some ancestry in The Netherlands and Germany to the mid-1700s.

Why I Should Like to Live as Gerrit Masselink Did
Story by R. Reed for Gerrit's Funeral 1929 Apr 25
Eulogy of Gerrit Masselink, was the President of Ferris Institute (now Ferris State University) when he died expectantly.
Gerrit Masselink lived and taught others to live by the golden rule. His decisions as to the right and wrong of his every act could always be tried by the Golden Rule and never be found wanting - that's why I should like to live as he did.
He aspired to succeed in life, but success to him meant the greatest good he could do for the greatest number. His life was the very personification of kindness. He helped others to help themselves by giving them better physical, mental and moral equipment. There was no limit to his efforts when he saw in them the accomplishments of a worthy end. He spurred on the nobly ambitious to still greater achievement and extended a helping hand and encouraged those who had lost hope. By example, his very life inspired others to attain higher planes of living. His life was an inspiration for all to live wisely and well - that's why I should like to live as he did.
He was a great teacher. He was not a one-sided teacher - he was a three-sided one. His objective was to develop his students into useful men and women of character. His enthusiasm for, and support of, the athletic program of his school encouraged physical development. His unlimited activities in the classroom, despite heavy administrative duties, lead to the highest possible intellectual development among his students. His undying interest in his Student's Bible Class, held at the Institute regularly each Sunday noon, was a powerful influence for the development of the spiritual side of life among his students. His life was indeed a powerful influence for the development of physical, mental and spiritual manhood and womanhood among his students - that's why I should like to live as he did.
Through his cooperation in every worthy civic enterprise, he endeared himself to his neighbors and fellow-townsmen. I have never known of one more universally loved and respected in his hometown then he, nor have I ever known of one more worthy of such affection - that's why I should like to live as he did.
His early ambition was to be a Doctor of Medicine - a physician to minister unto the physical needs of mankind. He was doubtless a greater physician in his ministry to weary minds and souls of men and women then he would have become had he pursued the study and practice of medicine. He was a constant effort to lift his fellow man - that's why I should like to live as he did.
Finally, he expressly contemplated death, not as something to fear or dread; but rather as an opportunity to become a bigger and better Masselink in a new phase of his immortal life.
His life, his work and his teachings were Christlike - that's why I should like to live as Mr. Masselink did.
