The Little Peacemaker (1913)

John Taylor and Henry Martin had been life-long friends. Their son and daughter are engaged to be married, but the old men quarrel over the water rights and forbid the marriage. However, Mrs. Martin helps the young people to elope, and they start housekeeping for themselves. But even after the birth of a little son, which they have named, John Henry, the fathers remain obstinate and refuse to see them. The young father and mother have been planning how they can bring the former old friends together, so the son writes to John Taylor, telling him that his wife has deserted him, and asking Grandfather John to come for Baby John, and the daughter writes to her parents telling them her husband has deserted her, and asking them to come for Baby Henry. Both parties arrive at the same time, and ere they leave, the wonderful baby has succeeded in so far softening their hearts, that a reconciliation is easily effected.
