The name of Hey is as closely associated with the early life and history of Mason county as any other, and Ben Hey is numbered among its native sons, born here in 1872 to the marriage union of Wilson and Hannah (Korn) Hey.
When Ben Hey was about fourteen years old he began working in the county and district clerk's office for his father, and he has been connected with that office throughout the intervening years. In 1902 he was elected the county and district clerk to succeed his father, and he has been re-elected to the office in 1904, 1906 and 1908. He married Maud Kountz, and their three children are Dixie Fay, Mabel Bennie, and Ruth Katharine. Source: Central and Western Texas Illustrated, Vol. 1; Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago (1911);
