earlier times ?

In 1900 people liked ice cream

In earlier times people liked ice cream

I want to say people who lived in the past liked ice cream 

Does the sentence in italic have that meaning ?

Is this correct ?

Any modifications ?

Your sentence would be grammatical if you put a comma after "times" and full stop at the end. However, I don't see what you're getting at. People still like ice cream.

I wanted to say,

In earlier times, people liked ice cream. But now the situation is different.

This is Okay, right ?

Thank you for your kind help

I still maintain that most people like ice cream. Perhaps that's just my biased opinion.
