The crux of the biscuit

Iirc an apostrophe can show possessive if used after the s thusly: its'.

Or a contraction: it's.

And this applied to other words as well. However I have noticed spell check keeps warning me I'm wrong when I use it as a possessive like:

That is Bobabodes' whiskey, or, That is Tom Joads' 1911.

In both of those cases the names are underlined in red. Am I wrong?
