John J. Browne, known as J.J. to his friends, was born in Ohio on April 28, 1843, a third generation American from Irish stock on his father’s side and German on his mother’s. He attended Wabash College in Crawfordville and then took up the profession of teaching high school in Columbia City, Indiana. After teaching for a few years Mr. Brown decided to attend law school at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor graduating in 1868. He then set up a law practice in Columbia City and then for 4 years in Kansas before the call of the west brought him to Portland Oregon.

Spokane's First Attorney, 1878

He married in Portland in 1874 but suffered from bronchial affections in the moist climate and so sought a dryer climate which brought him and his new wife to Spokane Falls in 1878. Mrs. Browne described her reaction to the little town of Spokane Falls which at that time had 7 families and 54 residents: “as we swung up to the platform beside the little wooden store building on the southwest corner of Howard and Front (now Spokane Falls Boulevard) my heart went down…I felt I was coming into a desolate place.” (Spokane Daily Chronicle, 1914) The Browne family, which included 11 month old Guy, had no place to live so arrangements were made with the family of Frederick Post, the miller, (for whom Post street and Post Falls were named) to live in his large house on the North side of the river. There the family stayed until the spring of 1879. Mrs. Browne described her host as a gentleman of grace and generosity always willing to do what he could to help his neighbor.
