Joseph Phillip Morris. In 1922, the ranch was divided among Morris' six
children. One of the ranches created from the division was the Rafter 3. Mattie
B. Morris (1874-1969), president of the Rafter 3 Cattle Company, was very
active in civic affairs in Coleman, Texas. Her son, J. P. Miller (1900-1974),
also managed the Rafter 3 Ranch.
