My sources seem to make it clear that this is unknown. On page 37 of Davison Reynolds: "Apparently the DeBecks had divorced; they remarried in 1921, but the second marriage also did not last." —

"while working on a strip called Finn an' Haddie for the Adams Newspaper Service on the side. " - he moved there and at the same time draw the comic? I recommend you to start a new sentence and begin with eg "Around this time...".
"the DeBeck Award was renamed the Reuben Award" - do you know why?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was done out of spite for DeBeck's widow, whom they found too controlling in the award selections. None of the sources I've listed back this up, however. It could've been an unfounded rumour on some blog or something. Anyways, the sources I have don't explain it. —
