Akeley, Henry Wadsworth

A scholarly Vermont farmer living on the side of Dark Mountain south of Townshend Village on a farm his family held for six generations.  Educated at the University of Vermont.  He contacted Albert Wilmarth of Arkham about the appearance of the Other Beings at an Indian mound at (or called) Round Hill on his property.  Wilmarth met him only to discover that Akeley had already accepted the creatures' offer to travel with them into time and space, though without a great deal of his human essence.
