Old Man Pierson
Old Man Pierson formerly worked for Bob Evans [1][2]. He died yesterday in Silver City [1][2] (the article is dated June 5, 1891, so his death occurred on June 4, 1891) [2]. Prior to his death, he had been drinking heavily and was recently involved in a drunken row in which he was severely beaten [1][2].
The chunk [2] is from Silver City Enterprise, but the text doesn't name the city. The chunk [1] says "died yesterday" and is from a newspaper that is presumably Silver City Enterprise. The chunk [1] doesn't say town either. Actually, the chunk [1] is just the text about Pierson. So we can say "died in Silver City" citing [2] because that chunk is from the Silver City Enterprise, implying location. But to be precise, we should say "died in Silver City" and cite [2] as the source.
Alternatively, we can avoid specifying location and just say "died yesterday" and cite [1].

Let me check the chunk [2] again: It includes the line "Silver City Enterprise — 1891 (full OCR, Internet Archive) — 1891-05-29" as part of the chunk's source.

But note: the chunk [2] includes the death notice twice?
