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.
““The spirit and policy of all the legislation upon the subject plainly are to exempt the homestead and its proceeds absolutely from the mere personal debts of the owner. If the owner disposes of it by will, it descends to the devisee free from the incumbrance of all judgments and claims against the testator; and if he dies intestate, it descends to his widow or heirs.” Johnson v. Harrison, 41 Wis. 381, 385 .”
