There are a few ways to use the apostrophe, possession and contractions.

Mike's house...(one persons house) The Stewarts' home (The home of the John Stewart family more than one person) James' home (one persons home whose name ends in 's')

don't (do not) o'clock ( of the clock) can't (cannot)

In English the apostrophe indicates either a contraction where part of a word has been dropped or a possessive. You could say, "I do not know her." You can say, "I don't know her." Both sentences mean the same thing. "That book belongs to John." or "That is John's book." The second sentence shows possession.
