==Personal life==
Browne was born into slavery as Ben Browne in Habersham County, Georgia on Octover 20, 1849 to Joseph Browne and Mariah Browne, both of whom were slaves. He was sold to a horse trader around age eight and after this sale Browne changed his name to William Washington. Browne escaped his owners during the Civil War and joined the Union army, where he remained until he was discharged from service in 1862. After discharge Browne attended school in Wisconsin and began a teaching position in the South, during which time he met and married his wife Mary A. Graham.
He was an outspoken proponent of the temperance movement and was equally outspoken against the Ku Klux Klan. Brown initially sought to join the Independent Order of Good Templars, but was denied membership because the society was traditionally white. The society did offer Browne the option of opening a sponsored charter named the Grand United Order of True Reformers, which he accepted.〔
Browne died in Washington D.C. December 21, 1897 due to cancer and was buried in Sycamore Cemetery.
