The Constitution provided that a "homestead to the extent of one hundred
and sixty acres of farming land, or of one acre within the limits of an
incorporated town or city, occupied as a residence by the family of the
owner, together with all the improvements on the same, shall be exempted
from forced sale under any process of law, and shall not be alienated
without the joint consent of husband and wife, when that relation
existed. By statute, each resident, being the head of a family, is
entitled to have exempt from seizure and sale, upon any judicial
process, the family books and musical instruments, a seat or pew in
church and a lot in burial ground, all wearing apparel, bedding,
bedstead, stoves and cooking utensils used by the family, one
sewing-machine, all implements of industry, five hundred dollars' worth
of other household furniture, two cows, ten hogs, one yoke of oxen, and
one horse or mule (or, in lieu of one yoke of oxen and one horse or
mule, a span of horses or mules;) twenty sheep and the wool from same;
the necessary food for the stock above described for one year, either
provided or growing; one wagon, cart or dray; two plows, one drag, and
other farming utensils including harness and tackle for team, not
exceeding in value three hundred dollars; provisions and fuel for the
support and use of the family, for one year; the necessary tools and
implements of any mechanic, minor, or other person, used and kept for
the purpose of carrying on his trade or business, and in addition
thereto stock in trade not exceeding four hundred dollars in value, and
the library, implements, and office furniture of any professional man."
A resident, not being the head of a family, has exempt his wearing
apparel, church pew, burial lot, necessary tools and implements used in
his trade or business, stock in trade not exceeding four hundred
dollars; and, if a professional man, his library, implements, and office
furniture. (Sec. 3650.) The earnings of a debtor resident of the State
for three months are exempt when it shall be made to appear that the
same are necessary for the maintenance of a family supported wholly or
partly by his labor. (Sec. 6127.)
So, also, the money received by any debtor as pensioner of the United
States within three months preceeding the issuing of execution,
attachment, or garnishment process must be released when it is shown in
like manner that said money is necessary for the maintenance of a family
supported wholly or in part by such pension. (Sec. 3653.)
