The county history of 1880 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 5 specimens collected within 10 miles of Midway between 1838 and 1969: 3 Animalia, 1 Chromista, 1 Plantae. 4 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Collector unspecified, R. Rhoades, Short, C.W.. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
