Thanks to the encouragement of my friends Earline from Ancestral Notes and Apple from Apple's Tree, I've added a GEDCOM to my user ID at Ancestry.com. Hopefully others who may be researching my lines will find the information useful, and I can make even more connections.
I decided to use a GEDCOM that includes not only my daughter's ancestry, but my stepdaughters' as well. Hopefully, that will generate more 'hits' of potential new information and collaboration with other researchers. This tree contains more 'sourced' information than the tree I have at World Connect, which contains the whole database.
I haven't added any photographs to this tree yet, although I may in the future. As I understand it, if I upload a replacement GEDCOM, I will lose the attached information previously added.
As my genea-blogging friends pointed out, you can never have too many places to share your tree and make connections.

Grandpa Lambertson's Accident: September 10, 1917
My maternal 3rd-great grandfather's obituary from March of 1918 stated that he had suffered injuries in an automobile accident the previous September. I managed to search the local paper the other day and found an article about Carey W. LAMBERTSON and the accident he was involved with. Turns out it was not an automobile accident, but a wagon incident that nearly killed him.
At the time of this incident, Carey would have been 70 years old. I'm sure that this was a painful injury. I checked the following couple of days in September, but did not find any other articles that mentioned this incident.

FELL OFF BRIDGE
Horse, Wagons and Driver in Serious Accident Today.
Carel [sic] Lambertson suffered painful, and possibly internal injuries, and a horse driven by him was so injured that it will die when the animal became unmanagable this morning and backed off the North F and Anderson street bridge. Mr. Lambertson was driving a spring wagon at the time and before he could save himself he had been thrown down into the creek bottom and narrowly escaped being crushed by the wagon and horse which followed. A piece of timber from the wagon struck the horse, entering the body and so injuring one lung that it is not believed the animal can live. Mr. Lambertson was removed to his home where he is reported resting as well as could be expected this afternoon.
