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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Item 6. In so far as I may have in my hands at the time of my decease any funds derived from or transferable to a trust fund created for my wife and children under the will of Nanvy W. Gray, deceased, I am disposing of the same by this will in the way that same would pass under the terms of the trust. The only persons now interested in the same being my three children to whom and for whose benefit I am bequeathing and devising in equal shares the residue of my estate which is much larger than such trust fund could possibly be claimed to be.””
