Article X of the constitution of 1885 provides as follows: "Sec. 1. A
homestead to the extent of one hundred and sixty acres of land, or the
half of one acre within the limits of any incorporated city or town,
owned by the head of the family residing in this State, together with
one thousand dollars' worth of personal property, and the improvements
on the real estate, shall be exempt from forced sale under process of
any court, and the real estate shall not be alienable without the joint
consent of husband and wife, when that relation exists. But no property
shall be exempt from sale for taxes or assessments or for payment of
obligations contracted for the purchase of said property, or for the
erection or repair of improvements on the real estate exempted, or for
house, field or other labor performed on the same. The exemption herein
provided for in a city or town shall not extend to more improvements or
buildings than the residence and business house of the owner; and no
judgment or decree or execution shall be a lien upon exempted property
except as provided in this article. Sec. 2. The exemptions provided for
in section one shall insure to the widow and heirs of the party entitled
to such exemption, and shall apply to all debts, except as specified in
said section. Sec. 3. The exemptions provided for in the constitution of
this State adopted in 1868 shall apply as to all debts contracted and
judgments rendered since the adoption thereof and prior to the adoption
of this constitution. Sec. 4. Nothing in this article shall be construed
to prevent the holder of a homestead from alienating his or her
homestead so exempted by deed or mortgage duly executed by himself or
herself, and by husband and wife, if such relation exists, nor, if the
holder be without children, to prevent him or her from disposing of his
or her homestead by will, in a manner prescribed by law. Sec. 5. No
homestead provided for in Section 1 shall be reduced in area on account
of its being subsequently included within the limits of an incorporated
city or town, without the consent of the owner."
