During World War II, he served overseas in the Army Medical Corps. Dr. Marvil was one of the founders and the first president of the Lewes Historical Society and began the practice of moving historic houses to its historic complex grounds. After the great response to the opening of the Cannonball House as a Marine Museum in Lewes, he procured the Lightship Overfalls from the U. S. Coast Guard and started the first Friends of the Overfalls. In 1977, Dr. Marvil received the Delaware Distinguished Service Award for Achievements in the Field of Historical Preservation. He published three books about the Delaware Bay: Sailing Rams, The Pilots of the Bay & River Delaware, and A Pictorial History of Lewes.
