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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Note was due 12-1-1911; summons and complaint were issued 11-27-1917; and on 11-28-1917, were placed in hands of sheriff of the county wherein defendants resided. There was personal service of summons and complaint on 2-6-1918, more than 60 days after they came into hands of sheriff."”
