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.
““It is the generally accepted rule in Kentucky: where an estate is devised to one for life with remainder to another, with an alternate remainder to a third person in the event the first re-mainderman dies without issue, the latter limitation has reference to death without issue during the lifetime of the life tenant; and if this contingency does not occur, the estate vests absolutely in the first remainderman upon the death of the life tenant.””
