FindAGrave Contributor Martin W Johnson sent along the following note:

Note - 1890 Minnesota Veterans census has a William Behan living in Tracy, Lyon Co., Minnesota which is just north of this cemetery. Veteran of Co. H. 22nd NY. inft.. Civil War pension cards online = William Behan Co. H. 122nd NY. inft. applied for veterans pension 2-13-1886. His widow Margaret applied for pension 6-26-1894 in Minn.. Her file will have proof of marriage and her full date & place of death etc...

That led to a search on FamilySearch.org, which turned up that listing, and other census records, filling in many details.
