When the Civil War began Mollie was living in Monroe County, Georgia, with her family. Her father was a planter. Forsyth, the county seat, became a hospital center for the Confederacy. Buildings and homes in Forsyth and homes in the county were converted into hospitals and recovery facilities. The women of Monroe County nursed and socialized with the sick and injured soldiers. Creed Wylie was one of those men. He had been severely wounded in the leg and thigh in the Battle of Murfreesboro in Tennessee on December 31, 1862. Muster rolls report he arrived at the "hospital Forsyth" sometime between September and November 1863 after having been in hospitals in Tennessee and Virginia. A muster roll for June 30-August 31, 1864, reports him to be in the same location. Mollie and Creed married in April 1865 in Monroe County.
Creed was from Benton, Saline County, Arkansas, and after their marriage Mollie and Creed moved back to Arkansas. They settled in Pulaski County, and Creed was a farmer. Mollie's move to Arkansas set in motion a series of events which led to Mollie's sisters, two of her three living brothers, and her parents moving to Arkansas. Creed and Mollie were still farming in Pulaski County in 1880, but by 1884 they had moved to Saline County and were there for many years.
By 1900 Creed and Mollie had stopped farming and moved to Little Rock. They lived in a boarding house, and Creed was a janitor in a public building. Their son, Samuel (Sam), was blind and a widower, so Samuel and his daughter, Glennyes (Glennie), lived with Mollie and Creed. By 1910 all four were in Saline County, living together in a house. Creed was working in a lumber mill, and Samuel was raising poultry. In January 1918 Mollie and Creed were living in Little Rock, and Creed worked in the Masonic Temple there.
Mollie and Creed were Methodists.
