Sterling died in Moro, TX, which is a town in Taylor County that no longer exists. The cause of death, pellagra, is a disease resembling leprosy that is caused by a deficiency of niacin, a B vitamin. The disease reached epidemic proportions in the American South in the early 1900s. The scientists who discovered its cause in 1937 were named Men of the Year by Time magazine in 1938.
