Jan Hendrik Willem Mensink (1869–1943) was a notary in Aalten from 1909 to 1939.
Jan Hendrik Willem Mensink was born on 19 March 1869 in Miste (Winterswijk), the son of farmer Hendrik Jan Mensink and Hanna Catharina Tenkink.
On 21 October 1926, at the age of 57, Mensink married Grada Gesina Wensink in Aalten, who was 11 years his junior.
In 1909, he succeeded P. Losecaat Vermeer as notary in Aalten. By that time, he had already been serving as acting notary for three years due to Losecaat Vermeer’s illness. Mensink tendered his resignation in 1938 at the age of 69. He was succeeded in 1939 by W.C. Krijgers Janzen.
Notary Losecaat Vermeer initially lived and worked at Hogestraat 2a (later known as the premises of saddler Gerstmann) and, from around 1930, at Markt 18 (which later became the ABN-AMRO bank).
Jan Hendrik Willem Mensink passed away on 4 February 1943 in Aalten. He was buried at Berkenhove Cemetery.
