2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It is generally recognized that a claimant for purposes of health, pleasure, business, or for any cause he may deem sufficient, may absent himself from the homestead without forfeiting his homestead rights, and the opinion sustained by the greater number of authorities is, that when no new homestead has been acquired, absence from the old one, unless for an extended period of time, does not create a presumption of abandonment.”
