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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the description under which appellees claimed was faulty, it was evident that they were claiming all that remained of the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 28, township 19, range 16 west, 35 acres, after appellant’s 5-acre tract had been carved out of that 40 acres under a definite correct metes and bounds description, which located the 5 acres in the NW corner of the NW 1/4 of section 28, township 10, range 16 west, etc. We think this was sufficient to identify this 35 acres claimed by appellees and entitled them to the benefits of 37-103.”
