The Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers had 51 chapters in 1885 and by 1903 had about 60,000 members with chapters in almost every state east of the Mississippi. On the Virginia True Reformers, you may wish to consult James D. Watkinson's "William Washington Browne and the True Reformers of Richmond, Virginia," in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 97 (1989), pp. 375-398 (with several illustrations); and the biographies of Browne and of the order's secretary William Patrick Burrell in volume 2 of the Dictionary of Virginia Biography.
