Gillies, Thomas
From Santa Cruz County history wiki
Thomas Gillies (1861-1955), a native of Scotland, ran a small grocery store in "the circles" for 23 years prior to 1940. In 1947 the building became the Santa Cruz Missionary Baptist Church. In 2023 the church no longer meets there, but exterior signage has not been removed.
