Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of opinion, that the rights granted the widow or minor children of a deceased person, by virtue of the Homestead Act of 17th of March, 1852 (now forming part of Article 3252 of the Civil Code) vest in them at the time of the death of said deceased, in the event they come within its provisions at that moment of time; their condition then in pecuniary matters, and not at any subsequent time, is to be the test of their rights to any claim under the Homestead Act.” (Boldface type ours.)”
