The best method for something like this (without doing a lot of tedious work) it Neat Image. The trick is to apply the filter to just the areas that need it, and not the entire image.
Slightly off topic, but, it seems to me as if this wasn't scanned correctly, or something like auto levels or auto contrast was already used - and not with good results. The image is too contrasty, which could be contributing to the texture you're trying to remove. I've posted something with less contrast.
Finally, although these old photos can look quite bad when blown up on screen, often, they will print much better (as long as you don't try to blow them up in print). Viewing at about 50% magnification should give you an idea of how your print will look.
