What to do with duplicate cemteries?

There are two categories for the same cemetery. Find a Grave calls it the Saint Thomas Cemetery, but locals use the name St. Thomas Cemetery, which I think is the confusion.  Both have listings, so I'm not sure if they can be merged?

It seems to be problematic with the St. vs Saint naming even St. Lawrence county New York was having this issue I’m sure it’s more prevalent.
I'm glad you asked, I've been wondering about this cemetery too for awhile.

In looking at the city boundaries, this appears to be within St. Thomas.  I am going to ignore the question of whether it should be listed as Saint or St. And get a merge going to the one with what appears to be the correct location.  I will not start this for an hour in case someone has a comment or objection

It is definitely within St. Thomas.  The 67 West Ave. address is accurate. I go by there all the time.
