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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * The words ‘he departs from and resides out of the state’ as used in § 541.13 are to be construed as meaning he departs from and acquires a domicile out of the state. In other words, the statute contemplates a change of domicile as a prerequisite for tolling the statute of limitations. In this sense, the statute has been construed as if the words ‘residence’ and ‘domicile’ are synonymous in meaning (contrary to the accepted distinction in meaning), and that a change of domicile involves a change of a person’s true, fixed, and permanent home or place of abode, to which such person intends to return whenever he is absent.” (Italics partially supplied.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]f, after a cause of action accrues, he departs from and resides out of the state and while out of the state is not subject to process under the laws of this state or after diligent search he cannot be found for the purpose of personal service when personal service is required, the time of his absence is not part of the time limited for the commencement of the action, (emphasis added)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Our computation-of-time statute, * * * is but declaratory of the general common-law rule. * * * A declaratory or expository statute is one which has been enacted in order to put an end to a doubt as to what is the common law — or the meaning of another statute — and which declares what it is and ever has been. Clearly [the computation-of-time statute] is expressive of only the general common-law rule and does not presume to abrogate the well-established exception thereto governing the computation of a person’s age. * * * It follows that [the statute] has no application in calculating a person’s age.””
