In the 1930 census, Chris is reported as widowed. If this is correct, then Nora died some time before the 1930 census.
James Beasley died in 1951. His wife Etta Adline Scott was married a second time to Jeff Clarence Brinkley. They were reported married in the 1940 census in Ellis County, Texas. So James and Etta divorced some time before 1940 I have not found a divorce record or a record of marriage to Jeff Brinkley.
