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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The only effect of this statute is to change the character and quantum of interest a husband takes in the lands which his wife owned at the date of her death. It does not attempt to modify or take away the right given a married woman by the Married Women's Act to dispose of the whole title to her separate real estate without joinder of her husband in the deed of conveyance. It is evident from a reading of the statute that it does not modify or repeal the Married Women's Act.”
