A Gorham woman was rescued from a New Hampshire mountain on Sunday. Mary Ervin, 42, was hiking Mount Lafayette in the White Mountains about 5:45 p.m. when she began suffering from a “medical issue” between the summit and the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Greenleaf Hut in Franconia. She was able to reach the hut with help from an AMC crew by 7:10 p.m. But her condition began to worsen, and she needed to be evacuated as soon as possible. The New Hampshire Army National Guard helped hoist Ervin aboard a helicopter from Greenleaf Hut about 10:42 p.m. and flew her to Littleton Regional Healthcare for evaluation and treatment.
