Good Afternoon

I am hoping someone may be able to help with burial details and possibly his short life as a Minister of Peedie Kirk,

John Waugh Chalmers married to Sarah Beans 1881 Greenock, he was Minister 1893 - 1894 and died May 3rd 1895 Congregational Manse -Kirkwall.

I have tried contacting the Church via their web site but to no avail.

Hi,
The Orkney Family History Society (https://orkneyfhs.co.uk/home.php) has transcriptions of gravestones available for members to view on its website. This one, from St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, is for three Congregational ministers:

Ref: E/4/24
[Flat or fallen stone] In memory of Revd DAVID RAMSAY, for many years Minister of the Congregational Church Kirkwall, who died on 2nd Aug 1855 aged 75. Also of Rev JAMES MCNAUGHTON, 7 years Minister of the same Church, who died on the 10th Decr 1859 aged 40. This stone is erected by members of the Congregational Church of Kirkwall as a memorial of their love and esteem toward these servants of Jesus Christ. Also Rev J W CHALMERS, one year Minister of the above Church, died 3rd June 1895 aged 39 years. With Christ in Glory.
