Question: The television series Deadwood included what historical general store owner as one of its characters? 
Context: Rosewood is a 1997 American historical fiction drama film directed by John Singleton.  While based on historic events of the 1923 Rosewood massacre in Florida, when a white mob killed blacks and destroyed their town, the film introduces fictional characters and changes from historic accounts.  In a major change, it stars Ving Rhames as an outsider who comes into Rosewood and inspires residents to self-defense, wielding his pistols in a fight.  The supporting cast includes Don Cheadle as Sylvester Carrier, a resident who was a witness, defender of his family and victim of the riot; and Jon Voight as a sympathetic white store owner who lives in a village near Rosewood.  The three characters become entangled in an attempt to save people from racist whites attacking the blacks of Rosewood. John Bateman (1789 – 3 April 1855) was an early colonist at Fremantle.

The Ewell Brown General Store is a commercial property in Lake Park, Georgia, located at the junction of Railroad Ave. with Lawrence Street, across the street from the railroad.  It is a one-story Folk Victorian commercial building built out of brick about 1890.  A brick sidewalk with a herringbone pattern was built in the early 1900s.  The inside is one large room with a raised office space.  The store was originally a drug store and general merchandise store.  Ewell Brown bought the store in 1899 and along with his brother, Bob, operated it was a general merchandise store.  Bob took over the store in 1948 and it closed in 1953 or 1954, due to the realignment of US 41, which caused a decline in trade.  Then it was used for storage except that it was rented for an antique store from 1974-1976.  In 1994 the daughter of Bob Brown donated it to the Lake Park Historical Society to use as a museum.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1997.  The building now houses the Lake Park Museum, which includes collections of family histories and artifacts. Cheap Cheap Cheap is a British television game show produced by Hat Trick Productions for Channel 4, presented and created by Noel Edmonds.

Smackout (originally premiered as Smackout – The Crossroads of the Air) was an American old-time radio series and was arguably the first and earliest example of the situation comedy (sitcom) genre and format.  The series revolves around a general store in Chicago and the store's proprietor Luke Gray, played by Jim Jordan.  Whenever a customer came into the general store to ask Uncle Luke, as Gray was affectionately known, for something, the typical response from Luke would be "we're smack out of that" (hence the title of the show).  But that never stopped Luke from telling one of his signature tall tales to the customer.  Jordan also played a regular customer named Jim and Marian Jordan portrayed the main roles as Teeny, a little girl and regular customer, and Marian, Jim's girlfriend. The Corner Store and Office, also known as the Frogmore Emporium, Macdonald, Wilkins, and Company Store and Mark D. Batchelder Office, is a historic general store, residence and, eventually, office building located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina.  Primarily built as a house, it was built about 1877, and is a two-story, wood frame building with a gable roof.  It features a two-story wraparound porch.  The adjacent one-story house was built about 1905.  The store sold provisions to the islanders, most of whom were African American, and became one of the major centers of commercial and social activity on St. Helena.  The home and businesses in the building were owned by Cameron Thomas and his relatives for most of the 20th century.  The family lived in the back and upstairs portion of the house, while the front included a general store and liquor store, with the small house added on used as a residence for relatives.  The store also had the only gas pump on the island for many years.
