He graduated from Union College and Albany Law School. He was admitted to the bar, and practiced law in Schenectady.〔(''New York Red Book'' ) (1958–1959; pg. 82)〕 He entered politics as a Democrat. In 1932 and 1933, he ran for a seat in the New York State Assembly (Schenectady Co., 1st D.), but was both times defeated by Republican Oswald D. Heck. Begley was an Assistant New York Attorney General from 1935 to 1942. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army. He was Mayor of Schenectady from 1948〔(''Schenectady Inducts Mayor'' ) in the ''New York Times'' on January 2, 1948〕 to 1951.

In May 1965, Begley was questioned about a possible conflict-of-interest,〔(''LEGISLATOR CITED IN ETHICS INQUIRY; Senator Begley and Road Designer Called by Jury'' ) in the ''New York Times'' on May 12, 1965 (subscription required)〕 but a New York County grand jury did not find anything amiss.〔(''Begley Is Cleared Of Ethics Violation By a Grand Jury'' ) in the ''New York Times'' on June 26, 1965 (subscription required)〕 He decided not to run for re-election after his district (consisting of Schenectady and Schoharie counties) was cut up at the December 1964 re-apportionment. He died on September 24, 1981, at his home in Schenectady, New York.〔(''Owen Begley, a Former Mayor Of Schenectady, Is Dead at 75'' ) in the ''New York Times'' on September 26, 1981〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Owen M.
