Oil activity in Marshall area shows several wells drilling
In the Marshall oil field near the Mary Lee tract a new well is tested as a good producer pending pump installation. Other drills include the Mary Page farm and Carl Helman farm in Wabash township, with a Chicago firm debuting in the territory. In Elbridge north of Dennison a Devonian drift at 2000 feet begins, while 33000 barrels were hauled in 12 days from Marshall and Elbridge to Martinsville. Four new sites opened south of Martinsville by Magnolia Oil Co. at Young Severns and Whit Wells farms. The Smitley farm well east of Marshall faced casing troubles but now drills below 1160 feet.
