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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 115 provides that if the latter articles-are not on hand a reasonable appropriation shall be made out of the assets of the decedent’s estate to supply such deficiency. It appears to us that the policy of the law is to, place the articles enumerated in section 114 upon the same footing as dower. The widow is as much entitled to the allowance in question as she-is to the family Bible, her clothing and other articles enumerated in said section. It goes to her absolutely by operation of law and toee from the debts and liabilities of the husband.””
