AP. DALLAS, Sept. 12â Samuel Bert, the man credited with inventing the snow cone ice machine, died Sunday at Baylor University Medical Center of complications from a fall that broke his hip two weeks ago. He was 88 years old. Mr. Bert worked at the State Fair of Texas for 65 years. His son, Nick, said his father invented a machine to mechanically scrape ice for snow cones in the late 1920's.
St. Louis, a foundry town, quickly capitalized on the cone's success. Enterprising people invented special baking equipment for making the World's Fair cornucopia cones. Stephen Sullivan of Sullivan, Missouri, was one of the first known independent operators in the ice cream cone business. In 1906, Sullivan served ice cream cones (or cornucopias, as they were still called) at the Modern Woodmen of America Frisco Log Rolling in Sullivan, Missouri.
