He was born to Albina (Helfair) and Thomas Lempka. He married Anna Peschel.

His siblings with Biological Mother (Albina) were: Peter Lempka, Matthew Lempka, Adam Lempka, Bertha Lempka, Stanislaus Standa Lempka, Rosalie M. Lempka, August Charles Lempka, Ivan Lempka, William Lempka, Paul Lempka, Theodore Lempka.

His siblings with Step Mother (Julianna) were: Constantine, Roman, Veronica, Regina, Sylvester, Victor, Victoria, Margaret, Agnes, Monica.

A bank clerk made a spelling error in their name and since old timers from Smicz pronounced Lempka, "Lempke", the banker saw the a in his handwriting as an e. They didn't want to make a fuss, so they went along with the change. His sister Regina brought it up after they laid the headstone, upset about the spelling and demanded to Annie, that they make it right… that's when Annie told her how their name was changed.
