Richard Overton, an Austin resident and America's oldest veteran at 112 years old, was released from the hospital Monday morning after his pneumonia cleared up, according to family members.

He has been temporarily moved to an Austin rehab facility while he continues to recover, said his cousin, Volma Overton Jr.

Richard Overton had been in St. David's Medical Center since Dec. 12. It was the second time this year he was hospitalized for pneumonia and the seventh time in 14 months he'd been diagnosed with the disease, Volma Overton Jr. said.
