Looking for descendants of "Mr. & Mrs. Charlie Smith".

Meet Edwin Selwyn Owens.
 Edwin is my great great great grandfather. He was born in Brownville (I believe is how you say it), Pennsylvania; and lived in East Liverpool, Ohio for the majority of his life. I will share about this ancestor of mine later on (because he did live quite an interesting life); but the main reason I am sharing this, is to try to find next of kin (or just general information) on the two others in this photo.
My grandmother has the original at her home (I just copied it), but originally it belonged to her mother's mother (Edwin's daughter) Lena Berdella Owens Elkins ~ and I assume it was in Edwin's photos to start. On the back of the photo was writing (which is not very common with old photos - glad my family thought to do so); Edwin is on the Left, and the writing on the back describes the couple on the right as "Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Smith". Like I said, this was in East Liverpool (although it looks like Kansas); and since it seems that Charlie Smith and Edwin Owens were friends it is likely they are neighbors; but since I am unable to accurately date the photo, I am unable to give an address from a census.
I appreciate any help. I would love to send a copy of this to the kin of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Smith.
Thanks,
Jackson.
