  Newspaper clipping: Services Tuesday for Eugenean, 71 Funeral services will be held Tuesday in Eugene for Torkel G. "Tom" Kaarhus, who originated the McKenzie River boat design now used throughout the Northwest and Alaska. Kaarhus, 71, died Saturday after an illness of several years. His home was at 4824 Fox Hollow Rd., Eugene. He was born in Nedre Vats, Norway, Jan. 5, 1893, and came to the United States and settled in Iowa in 1909. About a year late, he moved to Silverton, Ore., and worked there in home construction and electrical work. He studied voice and directed a chorus while in Silverton. Kaarhus moved to Eugene in 1923 to work on the construction of Pacific Christian Hospital. He worked for Ford-Nelson Lumber Co., and opened his own business - the Kaarhus Craft Shop - at 1366 Moss St., in 1935. In this business, Kaarhus did cabinet work as well as originating the lightweight, plywood, curved bottom river boat. Recently, he had built ocean-going trimarans. Kaarhus had a life-long interest in choral music. He was a charter member of the Eugene Gleemen, and was an assistant director of the Gleemen for some time. He was a charter member of the Sons of Norway and organized and directed the Norsemen, a singing group, which appeared throughout the West. For most of his adult life, Kaarhus directed church choirs. He was choir director at Central Lutheran Church in Eugene for 25 years. Survivors include his wife, Adena; a son, Joe Gudman Kaarhus of Eugene, and five grandchildren. Funeral services will be Tuesday at 2p.m. at Central Lutheran Church,1857 Potter St., with the Rev. Olaf Anderson officiating. Contributions in Kaarhus' memory may be made to the Cancer Society in care of Poole-Larsen Funeral Chapel, which is in charge of funeral arrangements. Interment will be at Rest-Haven Memorial Park.
