On his visit while home from the army on a furlough he was taken very sick and promised God that if He would spare his life he would serve Him as long as he lived. He recovered from his sickness returned to the war and like some others under similar circumstances forgot his vow. While living 5 miles south of New Market he walked to Boundary Grove now known as Kraut Trestle to attend a Methodist Camp meeting. The text of the evening was, "Pay thy vow to the most High." Wm. Hembree remembered his vow and gave his heart to God and kept the faith to the end. His parents were Presbyterians, but after careful study he united with the Baptist Church.

An incident from the old home: When leaving for the west his father took his hand and said "Wm we have tried to teach you honesty, sobriety and industry and now son you are going out from among us and I want you to remember what we have taught you and be a man."
