James H. Fennemore (1849-1941) began his photography career in Beaver, Utah, before moving to Salt Lake City and working for C.R. Savage. He later replaced E.O. Beaman as the photographer of the Powell expedition (1871-72). Fennemore taught John K. Hillers, then a teamster on the expedition - who eventually replaced Fennemore, who quit due to illness. Fennemore was also the photographer at the John D. Lee execution.
