Individuals USwww.mercurynews.com -- JAMESTOWN, N.D. - The family of a U.S. Army soldier from this city has confirmed his death in Iraq.

Scott and Jill Beyer, through a family friend, said Friday that their son, Paul, 21, had died. They declined to release any other information until the Defense Department releases official details.

A department spokeswoman said information about the incident, and where and when it happened, might not be released until the weekend.

Maggie Conlon, who was a classmate of Paul Beyer, said she was shocked by the news.

"I remember Paul as kind of the class clown," she told The Jamestown Sun. "He was so nice to every one, just a good guy."

Beyer is the second soldier from the city of 15,500 people to be killed in Iraq. North Dakota National Guard Spc. Philip Brown, 21, died May 8, 2004, after being wounded by an explosive while on foot patrol. He was serving with the Guard's 141st Engineer Combat Battalion.

A total of 14 U.S. service members from North Dakota or serving with North Dakota military units have been reported killed while on duty in Iraq. Two others have been killed in Afghanistan.

Five North Dakota soldiers have died overseas in the past 4 1/2 weeks, and another has been wounded and is recovering in an Army hospital in Washington, D.C.

Former Jamestown resident Ronald Schulz, 40, who lived in Alaska, is believed to have been killed after he was taken hostage in Iraq late last year by insurgents. He was working in Iraq as an industrial electrician.

His family held a memorial service for him on Jan. 14 in Jamestown. In April, a state judge issued a presumptive death certificate for Schulz.

Former longtime mayor Charlie Kourajian said the three Iraq-related deaths have hit Jamestown hard.

"There's a lot of mournful people in town right now," he said. "It's getting to the point where people are really feeling, what are we doing over there? It's come too close to home for us.

"Our hearts go out to the family," Kourajian said. "We only wish there was some way we could comfort them."

Paul,
I would like to say thank you to you and the other soldier who was killed in that blast with you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
