While I posted a 1905 article from the Atlanta Constitution describing how
the cone was "invented" the year before in St. Louis, I found what I believe
to be the earliest cite for the whole term "ice cream cone."

Using Ancestry.com, from the Gettysburg (PA) Compiler, August 20, 1905;
page number unreadable, column 3:

<S. A. Troxel has concession for selling ice cream cones at Williams Grove.>
