| It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern: Completely undocumented artifact of an unreliable USGS gazetteer. - There is no Midway in Franklin in 19th century gazetteers, such as the 1859 Shipper's Guide, the 1854 Thomas/Baldwin, the 1880/1902 Lippincott's, the 1895 Longman's, or de Colange's National Gazetteer.
- The Reifel History has no such place at all, in Laurel Township or otherwise.
- The Muncie History comes up with nothing, too.
- Baker's 1995 book has only Midway, Spencer County, Indiana (and Colfax in Clinton) as also have de Colange, Thomas/Baldwin, and the 1880 Lippincott's.
This is a name on USGS maps and thus in the GNIS, only. It is unverifiable what it even was supposed to be. (proposed by Uncle G )
