Ella Noland MacKenzie of Glen Ora, near Leesburg, Loudon County, Virginia was the daughter of Lloyd and Elizabeth Noland. She married physician John Carrerre MacKenzie of Baltimore, Maryland, and they had two daughters, Bessie and Nellie, and one son, John Noland MacKenzie (1853-1925), who was a noted physician and throat specialist. This piece is a mourning brooch, most likely associated with the death of her husband in 1866.
