Your guess is correct. The "Halfway" I am familiar with if halfway between Lebanon and Myerstown on Route 422. There was once a tavern on the corner of Halfway Drive that is now a farm market. Across Halfway Drive is a farm house that used to belong to John Kline (or Klein) whom I worked for one summer when I graduated from school in 1938. He farmed both sides of Route 422.
