Our Story

The beginnings of the Marshall family business date back to 1890, when the Marshall property was first bought and used as an ice business. The Marshalls collected ice from the family-owned lake that is still right on the property to this day. After several decades, Marshall Oil Company was founded by Stewart E. Marshall in 1938. Stewart worked side-by-side with his wife Viola, son Ernie, and daughter Pat. The one truck this company began with has now grown to 30 vehicles.

Today, Ernie Marshall is the president, working closely alongside his son Eddie- the vice president. His sister Pat is the secretary-treasurer, and his daughter Linda works in the service department. Ernie begin working with his dad when he was just a kid, and began in the service department cleaning furnaces and helping with other jobs. However, he did leave the company for two years when the U.S Army required him to serve our country. He became vice-president in 1954 and President upon his father’s death in 1985. Marshall Oil represents local, family-run business in every way. This company is a close-knit group of family and friends working together to make your home heating experience the best it can be.

What he (Stewart E. Marshall) instilled in his children and grandchildren is the foundation on which this company was built: willingness, ability, and availability of service. There is no substitute for prompt, efficient service whatever the hour of day or day of the week.
