Her Grandchild Filming Locations

Mrs. Grant, a widow, has one son, Donald. He is not really a bad fellow, but is full of devilment and always getting himself into mischief. One day, he visits the village inn and follows this up by pinning a caricature of Elder McWirther on that gentleman's gate. It is decided by the deacons to expel him from the church. His mother pleads for him, but they will not listen to her. Donald shakes the dust of the place from his feet, bids his mother good-bye and goes out into the world. His old mother prays for him and sets a light in the window every night in hope that he may some day come back to her. One night, two years later, she hears a knocking at the door, and going to it, a strange young woman enters with her baby and claims shelter. The young woman dies and leaves the baby, with a photograph and some old letters in Mrs. Grant's care. The elders and the minister are shocked at her adopting a nameless child and bid her send it to the poorhouse, but Mrs. Grant believes the child is a blessing sent her by heaven and so keeps it and brings it up. When it is about eight years old, Donald returns to the village. He goes to his mother's house and is lovingly welcomed. He sees the child and inquires who she is. He finds, from the photograph, which his mother shows him, that she is his own daughter. Unfortunate circumstances separated him from his wife and he had lost trace of her. Again, in this, Mrs. Grant sees the hand of an all-wise Providence and is happy in the love of her son and granddaughter.
