Midway, Jefferson County, Indiana

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 Jefferson 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 Hendricks History has no such place at all, in Smyrna 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)
