Some of my family still does. If I don't catch myself I still will say tote as well. I'd go to my grandparents and they would put some fresh squash or tomatoes from their garden in a 'poke' . I still remember telling them, ' I'll tote this out to the car and I'll come right back in to say goodbye'. Sort of mistyeyed just remembering that.
Do you remember the early version of a convenience store named "Tote-A-Poke," lol? I do.
