The National Typographical Union was a labor union for the printing industry, founded in 1852, later becoming the International Typographical Union. The Cleveland local was recognized in 1860 and as such became the oldest trade union in Cleveland. As evidenced by this memorial marker, mortuary benefits were available to members. The union merged with the Communication Workers Association in 1985, bringing its existence under the Typographical Union name to an end.
