August 22, 2001 Jim Thorpe's relatives pledge to get his body back to Oklahoma Source: AP - AP Wire Service Aug 19 02:00 By JONATHAN POET Associated Press Writer JIM THORPE, Pa. (AP) Thorpe lies under a monument on a hill outside of this town that he probably never even visited while he was alive. That upsets Jack Thorpe, 64, the youngest of Thorpe's five living children, who is seeking to have his father given a proper Indian burial in his native Oklahoma. He has asked for the village to give up the body and have it returned. "We as a family had offered any way we can to work with the city,'' Thorpe said. "It's a great honor to have a town named after your father. We offered to work with them to help them succeed, but they don't need the bones of my father to succeed.'' Jack Thorpe's resentment has been brewing for nearly 50 years. Following Thorpe's death in 1953, his family made plans to bury him in Oklahoma. But his third wife, Patricia, said she didn't have enough money to give Thorpe the burial she thought he deserved. She then took Thorpe's body from Oklahoma after Gov. William H. Murray refused to sign a spending bill authorizing a monument in Thorpe's honor. Patricia Thorpe announced that she was looking for a place that would honor her husband and ended up here, 70 miles north of Philadelphia in a community nestled in a narrow valley in the Poconos, where civic leaders pledged to give him a monument. They also pledged to merge the boroughs of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk and incorporate together as Jim Thorpe, which happened in 1954.

Jim Thorpe Oklahoma was not even a state when Jim Thorpe was born there. His Indian name, Wa-Tho-Huk, means "Bright Path." The very definition of "all-around athlete," Thorpe excelled in every sport he attempted. Thorpe attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania from 1903 to 1912, where he starred as an All-American football halfback. At the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Thorpe won gold for the decathlon and pentathlon, but those medals were stripped from him after it was discovered that he had played semiprofessional baseball while a student at Carlisle. Decades later, Thorpe's daughter was successful in her quest to get the International Olympic Committee to return the two gold medals, saying, "The modern day Olympics started in 1896, and they had no hard and fast rules on mixing professional and amateur sports. They sort of made the rules on Dad." Following college, he played six seasons of professional baseball (1913-1919) and 15 seasons of professional football (1915-1929). In 1920, he became the first president of the American Professional Football Association, and helped found the National Football League in 1922. Thorpe was named the greatest all-around athlete of the first half of the century by sportwriters in 1950. Thorpe died in 1953 and was buried in the Pennsylvania town of Mauch Chunk, renamed Jim Thorpe in his honor.

He was the first president of what is now known as the National Football League (NFL). In 1950, Jim was declared the best football player of the half-century. When Thorpe was on the boat to Stockholm for the 1912 Olympics with all of the other competitors for the Olympics, most jogged around the boat decks and lifted weights, but one of them didn't- his name was Jim Thorpe. One afternoon, Jim discovered a hammock. For all eleven days that the others trained, Thorpe just laid in the hammock dozing. The trainer was very, very angry, but the manager disagreed. Jim practiced mentally and was a fast learner. At the Olympics, Jim entered the Pentathlon. This sport is a series of five events. Thorpe came out representing America, but he competed for himself. He finished third in the javelin throw but won all four events. He won his first gold medal easily.
