Look for something that says 'invert colours' or 'negative' - possibly under 'Image'  Or just play until you find something that helps  :D :D

I make it:

Mary Jane
The Beloved Wife of Richard Webb
Died Jan 27
1865
Aged ?? Years  (the age is totally obscured by moss).

There is also writing at the bottom, you can make out what possibly could be

'UTER"

Actually looking at it on the screen, the word at the very bottom could also be WEBB, perhaps there is a second person also buried there maybe she died in childbirth.
