A few years back I picked up a 1911 Real Photo postcard of Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian team after defeating Harvard. Also, in the picture was Pop Warner. It just so happens that Pop Warner was born in Springville, NY "A" on the map. When I visited the Pop Warner museum they told me that Jim Thorpe practiced and trained for the Olympics in 1912 in Glen "Pop" Warners hometown of Springville. So, you can see where Sinclairsville is on the map "B". Also, mentioned in the writeup is Lansing, NY. Near Ithaca. This is where Pop Warner went to College. So, the story seems plausible that Jim Thorpe spent some time in this area. Looking at a closeup of the postcard's Thorpe the facial features seem different. However, the eyebrow's caught my eye. Anyway, its still not strong enough provenance for me..but its fun digging..I have posted a closeup for your review.
