Per his death certificate found on Ancestry.com: he was a son of John Newton Nisbet, born in North Carolina and Mary Jane Phifer, born in Georgia, and the husband of Emma Bulah Hayes. He died at Charlotte Sanitorium of congestive heart failure due to coronary occlusion. The informant was Dr. W. O. Nisbet of Charlotte, N.C.
From the book, South Carolina, The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago and New York, 1920 (two volumes), page 369 (parts omitted that are already stated in his obituary):...His paternal grandmother was a Douglas and both the Nisbets and Douglasses were among the Scotch Presbyterian emigrants who in the Carolinas founded a race of sturdy, God-fearing people, whose first and continued concern in life was the building of character. There is no disparagment of the high personal attainments of Doctor Nisbet to say that he has been greatly profited by the inheritance from his ancestors. His father, Dr. John Newton Nisbet was born in Union County, North Carolina, was a graduate of the South Carolina Medical College, and practiced medicine for over half a century. His life would have presented a generous theme for a eulogy upon the old time country doctor, a man whose good deeds were almost innumerable and whose character is a heritage to be prized by his descendants. James Douglas Nisbet had the worthy example of his father before him as he grew to manhood...October 22, 1908, Doctor Nisbet married Emma Beulah Hayes of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
