Here is what I found on Pellagra and the Mississippi State Hospital
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1095845-overview
Pellagra is defined by the systemic disease resulting from niacin deficiency, and it is characterized by diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, and death, which usually appear in this order. GI tract symptoms always precede dermatitis, or, according to Rille, "Pellagra begins in the stomach".[3]
3.Rille JH. Medizinische Gesellchaft Leipzig. Sitzug vom 16. November 1926. Ueber Pellegra (mit Lichtbildern). Dermatol Wochenschrift. 1927;6:189.)
Pellagra was first reported in 1902 in the United States. The medical community found Pellegra was caused by eating spoiled maize (corn). Generally less affluent or people of poverty got this disease.
Goldberger eventually solved the secret of the malady, which was a faulty diet. Goldberger was able to prevent and induce pellagra with dietary modifications, a landmark event in the annals of medicine, nutrition, and epidemiology. The reference range for serum nicotinic acid levels is 740-790 g; this level is decreased in patients with pellagra.

After doing some research. I have found that the State Hospital in Fondren Mississippi was first called Mississippi Hospital for the Insane.
In the 1930s, the name was changed to Mississippi State Hospital and was located in Fondren, Hinds County, Mississippi.
After reading about State Hospital's in Mississippi, I have learned that the people who died their were buried in rows and ten deep; where place on top of each other.
I believe it will be difficult to locate the exact location of where C F (Cecil)Fitzgerald is buried. He is in an unmarked grave at the Mississippi State Hospital located in Fondren, Hinds County, Mississippi.
