NACOGDOCHES — A Nacogdoches woman is in a Galveston hospital after being burned over nearly half of her body. Curlie Sparks, 77, who suffered first, second and third degree burns, is in critical condition at the burn center of the University of Texas Medical Branch. Investigators say she was using a newspaper to carry coals from a wood burning stove. As she headed outside in her motorized wheelchair, the coals ignited the paper which caught the woman on fire.
