seacoastonline.com Blaine Fleming, brother of Norman Paul Harris of Manchester
TULSA, Okla. — Blaine Fleming died Tuesday, July 31, 2012, after a long battle with prostate cancer. Blaine comes from a long line of patriots, the first being Samson Battis, who earned his freedom in the American Revolution. However, Blaine did not serve his nation as he would have preferred. He had run away from home at the age of 16 and would have had to provide his true birth certificate, and by that time he had changed his name from Israel Banks Harris Jr. He is survived by two daughters, Mary Elaine Fleming of Hot Springs, Ark., and Raylene Elaina Tetu of York, Maine; three grandchildren, Aydriana, Carlos and Selena Tetu; one known sibling, Norman Paul Harris of Manchester, Ky.; many nieces and nephews; close friend Patricia Shaver; and many other friends who will miss his company. The possibility of other children and grandchildren does exist. It is unknown if siblings Priscilla Harris Christen and Edgar Harris are still living. Blaine was preceded in death by his parents, Israel Banks Harris and Hazel Betty Wiggin, and brother Robert L. Harris. There will be no service. If desired, donations may be made to a local hospice. www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120801-PUBLICRECORDS04-208010331
