Records regarding Walburn's date of birth vary. The Social Security Death Index lists he was born 18 September 1905. Marriage records list 18 September, but the years 1903, 1904, and 1905. A likely match for his birth record lists an unnamed Pence born on 17 September 1904 in Dekalb county, Indiana; while a record transcript lists his father's given name as "Dick" instead of Walter, it did list his mother's maiden name correctly as Custer. Also, he was listed as age 5, 15, and 25 in the 1910, 1920, and 1930 census records, respectively. As the official census dates in those years were all well before the month of September, they would all indicate that he was born in 1904.
Walburn was married several times. He married Gertrude A. Hoy on 6 September 1924 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The license was issued and the marriage took place 1 day after Gertrude turned 18 years of age. Neither claimed the marriage in later marriage records.
Walburn married Leona M. Park in Fort Wayne on 10 June 1925, just 9 months after his marriage to Gertrude Hoy. A son, Eugene "Gene" Harry Pence (1926-2006) was born to the marriage. The 1930 census shows Walburn and Gene living with Walburn's mother, Sarah Custer, and step-father, Amos Foust, while Leona was living elsewhere with her parents.
Walburn married Helen Ilene Clem in Fort Wayne on 4 September 1935. She was listed as his wife in the 1939 Fort Wayne city directory. They divorced, with Helen resuming her maiden name.
In the 1946 directory, Walburn's wife was listed as Louise M.; further details are unknown at this time.
Beatrice was his wife at the time of his death. They likely married after 1963.
