  Ebenezer Swail [22 Feb 1863 in Morin, Quebec - 16 Apr 1948 in Winnipeg, Manitoba] Son of Valentine Swail and Ann (Nancy) Lister
  
  First Wife: Maria (Boyd) Swail [??? - 1890 in Mille Isles, Quebec]
  
  Second Wife: Isabella Margaret "Maggie" Beattie [24 Dec 1868 in Mille Isles - 23 April 1943 in Winnipeg]. They were married 1 Oct 1891 in Ottawa.
  
  This photo taken in St. Jerome, Que but on the back of it is written:"To Mr. & Mrs. J Boyd from Eb Swail & wife, Napinka, Man."
  
  I'm not sure if Eb's first wife was in fact related to the rest of the Boyds in our familyl. But he was a cousin of Elizabeth Christie who married Joseph Boyd. Hence the inscription to Mr. & Mrs. J. Boyd. The photo bearing this inscription would have been of Eb and his second wife.
