Larry - that is very sad! It sounds like it got too wet and rotted before it grew into its new pot. I don't know where you are located and I couldn't help you on overwintering in cool climates anyway, but what I would do is this - dig up what is left and see how rotten it is. If there is anything firm left, cut off the rot and leave the good stuff in the air until it callauses over -other members can probably advise you of stuff to apply to the cut surfaces. When the corm is dry, repot it in dry soil in the smallest convenient pot and don't water for a month. Then keeping it warm, give it the tinyest amount of water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, or even less, and don't give up before spring. Good luck!
