Fleck, John

John Fleck briefly owned the small parcel containing the Mission Santa Cruz grist mill on the Arroyo de Santissima Cruz (today's Laurel Creek). The 1866 Santa Cruz map shows the mill site parcel, labeled "J. Fleck". Rowland notes (p121) that Fleck lost the mill property the same year (1866) the map was made. Laurel Street was also created in 1866, and routing the new street through that land would seem to indicate that the mill had ceased operation.
