On April 6,1908, Hemming and his wife, Ann Marie Mikkelsen, were home alcncwhen the roof of the house caught fire from the chimney and the house burned almost to the ground. Roy and Joseph Franklin, two of Hemming's sons, built another room (the front ward projecting gable addition facing the street now) or two onto the part of the structure which had not burned. They raised the ceilings and finished one bedroom upstairs and in June the family moved back into their home.
