I'm in no way related to his family but your message touched my heart so I went "digging" for you.
David "Dave" Angus Johnston was born May 22, 1893 in Caddo, Stephens County, Texas and died Jan 05, 1967 in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.He was the son of Maggie H. Duncan, born Jan 1873 in Scotland, his father Mr. Johnston was born in Scotland as well but by the 1900 census Maggie and Mr. Johnston were divorced and she was living with her parents;

Johnston, David A. Grandson MW May 1893 7 Texas Scotland Scotland

Further note...Ethel and Walter were still living with their Grandparents in the 1910 census but Mom Maggie and Brother David are not in the household.

Tracking his mother and siblings after that is difficult but I think the following looks promising;
