Every resident householder, or resident married woman, may claim as
exempt from execution against them respectively his or her property,
real or personal, to the amount of six hundred dollars, on any debt
founded on contract made since May 31, 1879. This right exists while in
transitu from one residence to another within the State, and may be
claimed by the wife for the husband in his absence.
The property of a resident householder, exempt from sale on execution,
may be real or personal, or both. It must be properly appraised under
direction of the officer, after receiving from the debtor a sworn
schedule of all his property, credits, effects, etc. The statute makes
ample provisions for the sale of real property where it is alone, or in
part, claimed under the exemption law, in case its value exceeds six
hundred dollars. The exemption does not effect liens for labor,
purchase-money, or realty, or taxes in any event.
