Arlington has a long history . George Washington ’ s adopted grandson George Washington Parke Custis established Arlington Estate as a living memorial to the nation ’ s first president . At the start of the Civil War , the U . S . Army seized the property because of its strategic location overlooking Washington , D . C . Three forts were built there .
In 1863 freed and escaped slaves established a community on the estate . The first military burial took place there in May 1864 when Pvt . William Christman was laid to rest . After that , Brig . Gen . Montgomery Meigs ordered the estate be used as a cemetery .
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton designated Arlington as a national cemetery in June 1864 . Every weekday approximately 25-30 fallen soldiers are buried at the cemetery . Nearly 400,000 people are buried in the landscaped grounds located in Arlington , Virginia .

While employed for Coshocton Trucking , Tim Vance had recommended Williamson for Leadership Coshocton . At the time she wasn ’ t in the position to attend and also didn ’ t know what it was . In 2022 during a United Way board retreat , fellow board member and LCC alumna Leondra Davis talked to her about the program and recommended her for participation . After learning more , Williamson was interested , and upon receiving the full support of the city and the recommendation to apply , she decided now was the time .
Through her participation in the program , Williamson hopes to have a greater impact on the community . In the short-term , she sees the class project and networking opportunities as having an impact .
In the long-term , she stressed growing the right relationships and wanting to get to know more people .
Williamson views the community as very good — that it comes together when needed , citing examples such as the United Way of Coshocton , the Upper Room Assembly Food Pantry and first responders . She said upon moving to Coshocton , it didn ’ t have that small-town feel , in part to a lack of communication surrounding community events and no central location to share information about events or local businesses . As a new member of the community , she would have appreciated community information related to events and businesses .
