Supreme Court of Minnesota March 16, 1880 (Liebetrau v. Goodsell)

Berry, J.

In Kresin v. Mau, 15 Minn. 116, it was held that “to sustain the claim of the owner of land to hold the same as a homestead exempt from forced sale, his residence or dwelling-house must be, or must have been, situated thereon.” This rule was followed and applied in Kelly v. Dill, 23 Minn. 435.
