These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It follows that Mary E. Hembree took either a fee simple or a fee simple conditional, defeasible on the contingency of her dying- without leaving children, with a limitation over by executory devise. As such contingency did not happen, she held the whole estate, and the sale of the estate, under the judgment against her, conveyed a good fee simple title to the purchaser.””
