Texas Lost Ancestors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello! I do not know where to start, but here goes nothing. I used to work for a property management firm in Arlington, Texas. We managed properties all over the metroplex, in one of our warehouse units some very, very old pictures were found of the JOHNSON (Kate, Ed, Frank, Isabel) and MEYERS (C.J., Jack, Charles) families. These pictures are of the grandparents, cousins, wedding photo (isabel and jack), etc. I would like to know if any of the descendants from either of these families are still around this area. According to the pictures (writing on the back) they lived in Fort Worth (old Riverside area), had a farm in hurst, some pictures from Wichita Falls, but mostly the tarrant county area. If anyone can help me find them so the pictures can be returned to their family members, the photos are precious and very valuable for sentimental reasons I am sure. Please contact me at [email protected] ! I would love to return the photos to someone in the family. Some of the photos are dated in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
