Franz married (1) Walburger Veit 25 Oct 1846 in Cincinnati.  They had one child when she died in 1849.  Frank then married (2) a widow, Elizabeth Chalk Sacksteder, who was also raising a son Peter.  They moved to Twelve Mile Kentucky that spring.

In 1853 St Peter & Paul Church Parish was just beginning in the settlement near Guber's Mill.  The first church and school was built of logs and was constructed under the supervision of Father Voll.  This property was owned by Mr. McCardy, who donated ten areas for the purpose of building a church, school and rectory for the few Catholic families, who had settled here from Germany.  Franz Bezold was one of the members and as he was a stone mason, laid the foundation for the first church.  The first Holy Mass was offered at the home of Frank & Elizabeth Bezold by Rev Joseph Patchowski.

Elizabeth Chalk Bezold was born 13 Feb 1821 in Lorraine France, the daughter of Francois Jacques and Annie Catherine Trouy.  She died 1 Aug 1890 in Twelve Mile and was buried in the St Peter & Paul Cemetery.  Elizabeth Bezold Obituary
