Mr. Samuel L. Fite born 1864 Canada, was reported to be the best photographer in Owensboro, and perhaps the only African American to own a photography studio in the state of Kentucky. A photo card lists his studio address as 613 Main Street, Owensboro in 1898. Around 1890, Fite's Studio was located on the second floor of the Briederbach Building, located at 208 West Third Street in Owensboro. Samuel L. Fite married his wife Georgia (b. 1868 TN) circa 1891, and the couple is found living on Elm Street In Owensboro in the 1900 census.
