"It is not generally known that the remains of a former United States senator from Indiana are interred in the old cemetery here, says the LaPorte Star. E. B. Hannegan died in the city and was laid to rest with the pioneers of old in the quiet burying spot. Mr. Hannegan was a prominent figure at Washington during the history of the state."
The article mistakes Edward B. Hannegan for his son, United States Senator Edward Allen Hannegan, who died in St. Louis, Missouri, and is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Terre Haute, Vigo Co. Indiana.
Edward B. Hannegan Sr. was originally interred in the Old City Cemetery, at the west end of La Porte city. The Old City Cemetery closed in the 1870's, after the establishment of the Pine Lake Cemetery, and the Patton Cemetery.
In a newspaper article dated 23 March 1893, a list of names was published of those buried in the Old City Cemetery, offering relatives a chance to relocate deceased loved ones to a cemetery of their choice. Unclaimed interments were removed in 1893 to a mass grave in the Pine Lake Cemetery. Among those listed was "Eli Hannegan," assumed to be Edward B. Hannegan.
Mr. Hannegan's birth year is estimated from the 1830 census. He is not enumerated in the 1840 Census and possibly died earlier, though 1844 is his possible death year, estimated from the following newspaper article which mentions the E. B. Hannegan grave at La Porte as having been there "...for nearly half a century..." This article again mistakes Edward B. Hannegan Sr. for his son, the United States Senator, Edward Allen Hannegan.

"In removing the bodies in an abandoned cemetery in Laporte the grave diggers came upon a stone slab partially buried in a mound of earth which marked the resting place of E. B. Hannegan. Here, for nearly a half century, have reposed the remains of one of Indiana's historic characters. Mr. Hannegan was a former United States senator, and one of the most gifted orators of his time. He died a poor man, and a simple slab was reared to perpetuate his memory."

"Mr. Edward B. Hannegan, father of the Congressman from Indiana of the same name, taught an excellent Academy boys from about the year 1807 to 1812 in a building of Saml. & Geo. Trotter's of frame on Limestone Street a few doors above Main. Among other points his pupils were well instructed in elocution and delivery. I think he edited the American Orator published in Lexington 1807. He afterwards opened a Grocery Store and kept it for a year or two."

"...Trotter's a few years after this rented to Edward B. Hannegan for his English School & Academy a very flourishing one he cultivated their powers of declaiming and speaking. He subsequently kept a grocery store on the same street before leaving Lexington. His son Edward B. a promising youth while here became a Congressman of some note in Indiana: there were also 4 or 6 brick houses of moderate size on the E. side of the street -..."
