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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A remainder in fee limited to the children or the heirs of life tenant’s body, though such heirs be unborn at the time of the grant, is recognized by statute as a valid grant. Sec. 11766, O. S. 1931, 60 Okla. St. Ann. §41. A remainder made contingent upon the failure of such heirs cannot vest until such failure becomes a settled fact. The latter is a contingent remainder and may not vest until failure of surviving issue of life tenant becomes certain. Sec. 11756, O. S. 1931, 60 Okla. St. Ann. §31.””
