    So I found babies with similar names winning a "perfect baby contest" in New York, 22 June 1914. It only gives the girl winners, which leaves out young Henry: Johanna Wiggers was the winner, Olga Cohen took second place ($25), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hymen Cohen; and "The Bkln. borough prize went to Marie Danaher of 363 Baltic. She scored 98.7%." See "Perfect a Baby Girl," Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac 30(1915): 358. books.google.com/books?id=zMkWAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA358&l...

    I agree, it looks like Beekman.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Found them! New-York Tribune, 26 June 1914, page 14:
    The mayor awarded to Olga Cohen of 56 Chrystie Street second prize for the borough; to Henry Beekman of 304 West 135th St., first prize for the Bronx; and to Marie Danager of 363 Battie Street, 1st prize for Brooklyn.

    Better baby contests represented the "softer" side of the eugenics movement.
