Sudden Death of Mr. Nisbet.
Mr. John C. Nisbet, a well to do citizen of Lancaster county, and postmaster at Jacksonham, just over the Union line, was found dead on a road on his farm last Wednesday evening just after sunset. The body was accidentally found by a negro boy riding a mule, the mule first discovering it and jumping over it. The alarm was given and the body taken to the house while it was yet warm. An inquest was held on the following day and the jury decided that death was due to heart failure. Mr. Nisbet had been repairing his pasture fence late that afternoon and it is supposed that he dropped dead while on his way to the house at nightfall.
Mr. Nisbet was about 42 years of age. He was a member of the Tirzah Presbyterian church, and an upright man and good citizen. He leaves a wife and one child.
