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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute does not anywhere prescribe how the jurisdictional facts shall be ascertained;- lienee the probate court may ascertain them as best it can; and if it ascertain them correctly, that is all that is required.
