Wade Loofbourow, Photographer

Surnames: Loofbourow
I would appreciate some help in determining the family line of a photographer named Wade H. Loofbourow. His logo was stamped on photographs taken in Waukon, Allmakee Co., Iowa in 1902 and the 1905 census for Waukon shows a "W.H. Loofbourows," with no other information. In the 1880 census, he was listed in Maquoketa, Jackson Co., Iowa, as a photographer and I have also seen photos with his logo on them from Maquoketa. This census shows his birth as abt 1845 in Illinois, but no information on his parents' birthplaces. From what I have found, I believe he is the son of either Dr. John Loofbourow of Iowa Co., Wisconsin or Orlando Loofbourow, Sr., of Marion Co., Illinois, but I have not been able to verify which one is the photographer's line. Can anyone help? Thank you!
