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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he owner is charged with knowledge of adverse use when one enters into open and notorious possession of the land under a claim of right.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The fact that everyone believed the strip in dispute actually belonged to Vanasdal so that no one challenged his use of the land earlier is also immaterial. The doctrine of adverse possession protects one who has honestly entered and held possession in the belief that the land was his own, as well as one who knowingly appropriates the land of others for the purpose of acquiring title. Yetzer v. Thoman (1866), 17 Ohio St. 130 ; Montieth v. Twin Falls United Methodist Church (1980), 68 Ohio App.2d 219 , 222 , 428 N.E.2d 870 .”
