The linked article in the 1900 Eagle is really something. As near as I can tell it's written years before the actual neighborhood was developed and seems to be trying to slap a neighborhood name onto a large swath of undeveloped land - it says that "South Midwood" stretches all the way to Coney Island Ave - which would encompass the present day "Fiske Terrace/Midwood Park" historic district. They must have developed the land up to Ocean Ave and then sold off the rest (to TB Ackerson and John Corbin as Brownstoner has previously detailed). Interesting, that area still calls itself South Midwood and has a neighborhood association: https://www.southmidwood.org/en/smra Which is confusing given the present day understanding of Midwood, the large neighborhood south of Ave H and Brooklyn College.
