The deaths of the Homestead steelworkers resulted in mourning and outrage throughout the town. The funerals were well-attended and received significant coverage in the local and national press. Rawsthorne Engraving and Printing Co., the original publishers of Arthur G. Burgoyne's The Homestead Strike of 1892 (1893) set aside 5 percent of the net profits from the sale of the book to purchase a monument in honor of the workers. The proposed monument, to be ordered from a catalogue, was never erected.

It wasn't until September 2, 1941 that a monument was unveiled (pictured below) to commemorate those Homestead steelworkers who had lost their lives on July 6, 1892.
