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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Second. After the payment of such funeral expenses and debts, I give, devise and bequeath to my wife Anna B. Reiser all of my property both real personal and mixed of what nature and kind soever and wheresoever the same shall be at the time of my death. “Third. If at the decease of my wife, Anna B. Reiser, there should be any real estate or personal property left it is my request that it be divided between my two children, George W. Reiser and Mabel E. Raiser Jensen, to share and share alike.””
