Religion - Janesville Sesquicentennial   Blessing of 1859 A blessing in disguise. That's what local residents called the minor miracle of 1859. Early vegetables and corn were destroyed by a frost that June, but as it turned out the frost also killed weeds and insects. As a result, local residents grew strawberries three inches in circumference.
