Elsie, I saw your query, but wanted to check my records before responding. I didn't find anything, and my mother-in-law is no longer around. Marion would have been her first cousin. I'll tell you what I do know about his family. You asked for more information about Marion Sandridge, oldest son of Leander L. Sandridge and Cora Thomas Bailey. I cannot find any other references to him. Leander and Cora are buried in the Sandridge Family Cemetery, in Sugar Hollow. There are four of Gilmore's siblings buried there with the parents. Gilmore died in the First World War. Brother Robert L. evidently served in the war, as his tombstone has SFC (Sergeant First Class) on it. However he died in 1929. Sister Cora Thomas Sandridge died in 1931, also around 30 years of age. One possibility of two young adults dying would be tuberculosis. I have thought for years that this was the explanation, and I must have gotten this from my mother-in-law, who was Leander's niece. Something also rings a bell about them being connected to the Blue ridge Sanitorium, which was nearby, I think in the county or in Charlottesville. We know that Gilmore was 7 years old in 1900. He may have been lost in action in the First World War or met the same fate of his siblings. He's not buried with the rest of the family.
