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.
““Now, a homestead in an incorporated town is, by our Constitution, limited to one acre. Art. 9, § 5. The burden was on the homestead claimant to show, either that this land across the street from the- dwelling, and which she now claims, was a part of the homestead upon which she lived, or that it had been impressed as a homestead after the sale of the other homestead. The mere fact that the land was separated from the dwellmg house by a street is not conclusive of the question, 2 but that fact may be considered in connection with other evidence * * *.””
