Dahl and Nils Nielsen donated 3 acres of land for grave sites (1 ½ acres on each side of the property fence), to the Roscoe Congregation. The first recorded burial was that of Thorine Gulbranson (Dorretta Gullickson’s Grandma) on March 2, 1882, at which time the cemetery was dedicated. In 1900 it was discontinued to be used and the half which remained on Dahl's place was then fenced off. Giving back Nils land for cultivation. The first recorded mention of definite place to worship occurs in 1884 when the Smith schoolhouse was obtained for that purpose. A year or two later the Hasvold schoolhouse was also used, and some time after that also the Midway schoolhouse. Erection of a church building was contemplated from time to time, but the Roscoe congregation built no church as such. The stones for the foundation was all gathered for the foundation of the church. But when the congregation divided. The pile of rocks was divided in half between the two new congregations (Flandreau Prairie & Concordia congregations). In 1886 and the years following several members withdrew from the congregation mainly for doctrinal reasons, who later were active in forming the Flandreau Prairie (later North Clare) congregation in 1891, which became affiliated with the newly organized United Church. In 1893, partly because some of the Roscoe congregation members could not agree to a proposal to build a church together with a congregation of another synod, and partly because the distance from the northwest to the southeast sections of the congregation was considered too great, the Roscoe congregation was divided in two by the organization of Concordia (later South Clare) congregation. Both continued to be served by Rev. Blilie. The Roscoe congregation centered its activities in the northwest section, now Midway. The pioneers who carried on the work of the Roscoe congregation from this point were Lars Pederson, for a number of years the congregation's secretary, Gilbert Olson, Theodore and Andrew Ellingson, Lars and Jens Larson, Peder Tansemb, and Knud Siverson. In 1919 the congregations of the newly formed Norwegian Lutheran Church of America west of the Sioux River met and organized a separate call to which Rev. C. M. Austin came as pastor in July. In that year also arrangements were made to consolidate the Roscoe and Effata Congregations to form the present Midway Congregation.
