Chase on 27 July 1907 at Altadena, Los Angeles County, California.

He also maintained a private practice at the Professional Building, 1052 W. 6th Street, Los Angeles, specializing in women's surgical procedures and treatment.

He enlisted with the United States Marine Corps on 23 April 1918, served during WWI with the rank of Private, and honorably discharged on 24 July 1919 as a Captain.

Dr. Partyka had immigrated to the United States as a refugee in August 1940.
She was a graduate of the University of Vienna, Austria, and became an assistant to Dr. Bayley at his private practice.
In the weeks following the death of Dr. Bayley, his widow Ruth filed a lawsuit against Dr. Partyka contesting the will.
Mrs. Bayley charged that Dr. Partyka exerted undue influence through unnatural flattery, and feminine wiles, and that she threatened to reveal secrets concerning his medical practice, that would expose, and ruin his reputation. She also maintained that her late husband lived in constant fear that Dr. Partyka would disgrace him in his declining years, coercing him to abandon his family.
