Michael Owen Boyle (1805-1890), native of Ireland, came to Santa Cruz in 1858 after a number of years in the gold-mining areas. A stone mason by trade, he may have helped build the 1864 stone county jail, and later helped to build the city reservoir on Logan Heights. According to Rowland, he was the contractor for the Mission Hill railroad tunnel in 1876. A daughter married Mansell Bennett.
