Adrian is the last of ten children and the seventh son, very probably named after his aunt Adriaantje van der Tuin (1864-1947). In the Netherlands it's very exceptional to name a male after an aunt: third and following sons should be named after an uncle, the first two sons for their grandfathers.
In 1913 he is called in a Friesian newspaper Adrijaan v.d. Tuin. In the Census 1915 he is called Edward Vander Tuin. Usual name: Ed(d).
Ed was born on the original Vander Tuin farm in section 10 of Clark Township, two miles west and one mile south of the Dutch agrarian settlement New Holland (78 people in 2010), Douglas County, in the southeast of South Dakota, not far away east ofthe river Missouri.
Adrian's parents moved in 1898 or 1899 to this farm from Nieveen, near Platte, appr. 12 miles southwest of New Holland.
Ed died at the Pleasant View Nursing Home at Corsica. Source; son Everett, e-mail July 2011.
According to US Securities Death Index Adrian's last residence was Harrison, Douglas County.

It's remarkable that Adrian isn't mentioned in the Census 1915 with his parents.
In February 1920 he lived without occupation at his parents' farm in Clark Township, Precinct no. 6. Source: scan of Census 1920.
This is in section 10 of Clark Township, 2 1/2 mile southwest of New Holland. Here the original Vander Tuin farm stood, where the family lived since 1898/1899. According to the Census 1925 the 16 years old Adrian Vander Tuin lived with his parentsat their farm in Harrison, Douglas County and he had no occupation.
In April 1930 he lived with his mother, widow since 1927, and three siblings still on the original Vander Tuin farm, 2 1/2 mile southwest of New Holland. Adrian was then a farm laborer at a general farm, very probably on the own Vander Tuin farm.

The brothers Bonne and Adrian Vander Tuin married in resp. 1927 and 1924 to the sisters Rickie and Johanna Feenstra.
In April 1940 farmer and head of the family Adrian lived with his wife Johanna and their two years old son John at a rented farm inClark Township. He works weekly 48 hours. Right next to them his mother, head, and his brothers John and Johannes lived at a rented farm too.

Between 1940 and August 1945 the family movesd from the original VanderTuin farm 2 1/2 mile southwest to 3/4 mile south of New Holland to, where Adrian's older brother, Hannes (Johannes, 1890-1965), bought section 2, 160 acres, in Clark Township.In this section were a big and a small farmhouse.
Hannes, his older brother John (Jan), both bachelors, and their mother Margie, widow since 1927, lived in the big house and the small house was rented to the youngest brother Adrian (Ed) and his family. Some time after his mother Margie's death inJune 1947 they switched houses, so Adrian's family got the big house. After many years of renting Adrian bought the place. Ed and Joanna farmed here until their retirement in 1981, when they moved to the village New Holland itself.
Ed farmed with his family 3 quarters of land (a quarter is a 1/4 of a square mile section, this is 640 acre, so 480 acres in total (= 192 hectare). He owned one quarter and the rest was rented on shares. The standard share was 1/3 of the crop for the landlord and 2/3 for the tenant. The Vander Tuins raised corn, oats, alfalfa, prairie hay, cattle and hogs (male pigs). In the beginning ten cows were milked by hand, the cream was sold and the skimmed milk fed to the hogs. There were then about25 stockcows and two crops of calves until they were sold.
Adrian liked wood working very much as a hobby and built trinkets (= little toys for fun) out of wood to amuse people and kids.
