Sarah Ann Bauman, age 18, was baptized on the same day as her daughter, Marianna Elizabeth Kurtz.
Note - Sarah Ann's maiden name was Bauman. Joseph & Anna Elizabeth's son Jeremiah's middle name was Bauman - Jeremiah Bauman Scharf. This leads me to believe this is in fact the "right" Ann Kurtz. It's also what our family has recorded.
Her Children's death certificates give her name as follows: John : Anna Kertz, Sarah: Eliz. Kurtz, William: A. Elizabeth Kurtz,

He kept "the union house" hotel on the southwest corner of Market and Chestnut Streets with his father. His father, John, had his clock shop on the south side of the hotel.
The Snyder County Historical Society has a large wall map published at Lewisburg in 1858 which has sketches of various buildings in the county set around it's borders. Among these is the Union House with the customary sign hanging plainly in front of it. The block of buildings was burned in the great fire which struck Selinsgrove in the last quarter of the century.

Research:
Joseph Scharf and Ann Elizabeth Kurtz lived in Selinsgrove Pa. They had 7 children. One child according to my records was Sarah 1845-1924 who married Joseph A. Lombard June 19, 1866. The place and the Joseph Lombard name strongly suggest your Esther and my Sarah are the same person. There were no other Scharf's in Selinsgrove at that time period that I am aware of. I believe I have pictures of this family in addition to scads of information if you are interested.
Joseph was born in Pa to John Scharf and wife Anna Katherine about 1821. John Scharf emigrated from Zeiningen switzerland in 1817 to Philadelphia and ultimately to Selinsgrove where he made and repaired clocks. John was married twice and had at least 6 children. Sarah who married Jos Lombard was from his second wife. Johns parents were Johannes Scharf and Maria Kaufmann, complete lineage to Johannes Scharf 1607 were found in the canton records of Aargau Zeiningen town a few years ago

Kurtz -
Washington Lafayette, born in 1824, married twice, first to Sarah H. Kurtz (1826-1870) on November 10, 1845, a daughter of Henry Gerhring Kurtz (1799-1850) and Sarah A. Bauman (born 1806), and again after Sarah's death to Anne W. King (1843-1939), a daughter of Joseph Koenig (1815-1897) and Maria Wagner (1815-1896). Much like his grandfather, Washington established English speaking schools and churches in Pottsville and Ashland and also lived in Mifflinburg and Harrisburg, where he died in 1894;
