There is a marriage record for John Oscar Beckett who mrd in MONTGOMERY Co, Indiana to Nellie F. Jones 04 May 1905.
There is also an obit for Melissa Bell in Montgomery Co, Indiana Journal Review, 30 July 1948 page 2 col 5 and also in the same paper 30 August 1948, page 3 col 6. I do not have access to the papers, only saw them online. You might contact the Crawfordsville Libary for more information. Perhaps that is where James Charles is buried also. Good Luck

Melissa Bell is buried in Boone Co, Indiana, Jamestown IOOF cemetery, according to my cemetery records. She died in Montgomery Co. I will do some further checking to see if I can find anything else.
